I am Australian with Irish citizenship and moved to Ireland in 2013. Before entering publishing, I worked as a German teacher and English/ESL teacher for six years. I worked in publishing for several years, as an in-house editor with education/academic publisher, Pergamon Press, and then as Senior Editor of the Harcourt Brace & World School Division. I also have extensive experience as a home-based freelance editor, with extended periods of in-house contract employment with John Wiley & Sons and the Queensland Studies Authority.

Testimonials
Stephanie Campion edited my memoirs in March 2022. She is an excellent, competent, and sensitive editor. An absolute pleasure to work with, and her attention to each minute detail was absolutely amazing! I would never have achieved a published edition of my work without the expert assistance of this very intelligent lady. I very highly recommend Stephanie to anyone out there needing a professional edit of their work. Siobhan McHale (author), Good Morning, My Beautiful Angel
Stephanie guided the Institute through a massive overhaul of its learning content. Her experience and expertise were invaluable and led to a process of reflection on so many aspects of our learning content, e.g. the language used, the target audience and the image that the Institute wanted to convey. Stephanie worked with us to develop a style guide which we still refer and adhere to. Everyone who worked with Stephanie learned something of relevance to their role and the Institute’s remit as a professional educational body. Stephanie is the ultimate professional, incredibly patient, always willing to educate those around her and a pleasure to deal with. Siobhan Wynne, Development editor, The Insurance Institute of Ireland
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Stephanie. She is highly intelligent and was consistently insightful and thoughtful in her comments and editing. Stephanie was also unfailingly courteous and considerate in her dealings with me. I also valued how scholarly Stephanie was in her editing. As an author, I am proud of the quality of work I’ve authored and contribute much of this to Stephanie’s work as an editor. Stephanie is a person of high intellect and integrity and works incredibly hard to achieve the best possible outcome. I recommend her most highly to publishers. Deborah Henderson, co-author, Global Voices: Historical inquiries for the 21st century
