Siobhan Fitzgerald-Gibson

Technical writer | Freelance | Brighton, UK

Hello! I'm an experienced technical communicator, available to help you turn complex information into clear, human-readable content.

I have over a decade of experience working on projects of all sizes, from major development software like Unity Technologies to small start-up tools. I also have experience leading teams and projects, establishing documentation quality standards, mentoring technical writers, and speaking at international conferences.

I work through my consultancy, Solas Documentation Ltd. I'm especially drawn to projects with a public-interest angle: civic tech, public sector, and anything where good documentation genuinely makes people's lives easier.

Areas of expertise​

I'm particularly good at owning and producing these things:

  • Documentation: User manuals, API references, and docs tools
  • Learning materials: Tutorials and walkthroughs
  • Community content: Technical articles and blog content
  • User interfaces: UI text and user journeys
  • Internal communication: Technical docs and processes to keep teams connected

Information for good​

Information is empowering. Beyond my client work, I contribute docs and communications support to hobby projects and community events. I also write zines and resources, provide healthcare advocacy, volunteer at games and maker/hacker festivals, and teach music in a local samba band.

Subject to conditions, I can offer a lower rate on projects and consultations for small businesses, non-profit organisations, and social causes.

Name pronunciation​

My first name is Siobhán, pronounced shiv-AWN. It rhymes with dawn, lawn, and pawn.

Please don't worry about pronouncing it wrong, but do look out for the tricky spelling if you need to type my email address!
