As well as offering fundamental editorial services such as structural editing and copywriting, Domney Books is a cheerleader, advisor and promoter of authors. Holly Domney’s broad experience of the business of books enables Domney Books to deliver consultancy, coaching, care and creative services to authors. Such services help them to complete their manuscript, prepare them for submitting to agents and publishing houses, or to self-publish their novels.

David Mark said, “Editing, publishing strategy, copywriting, metadata, author support, Domney Books excels at all the things that are integral to any traditionally or self-published author. Whether new to publishing or long established, Holly’s experience, professionalism and positivity make her invaluable on any writer’s journey.”

Jamie Taylor said, “Holly is everything you could wish for in an editor and professional advisor. Her knowledge is vast and she is as enthusiastic as she is honest. Holly is now my first choice for any editing or industry advice, and I would wholeheartedly encourage others to choose her services. You will not be disappointed.”

Domney Books’ Holly Domney said, “Too often the people element of publishing is forgotten. We don’t just deal in manuscripts. We’re dealing with masses of creative, emotional and intellectual energy that authors have invested in their stories. As well as helping to make manuscripts marketable Domney Books will help authors overcome their fears – fears of rejection, of promotion, and even of publication itself.

“Working on manuscripts destined for publication is a true privilege, especially when already selected by excellent publishing houses such as Head of Zeus and Joffe.”

Head of Zeus’ fiction publishing director, Laura Palmer said, “It’s so enjoyable working with Holly at Domney Books. Professional and passionate, she not only champions her authors but goes above and beyond for them and their books.”

Joffe’s publishing director, Kate Lyall-Grant said, “I can wholeheartedly recommend Holly Domney as an enthusiastic and perceptive editor, whose keen insights, eagle eye for detail, in-depth knowledge and can-do attitude are invaluable in guiding authors through every stage of the editorial process, from pitch to publication. At Joffe Books, we have been lucky to benefit from her expertise; Holly succeeds in making the editorial experience an enormously enjoyable one for author and publisher alike.”
