WHAT HOLLY SAYS ABOUT EDITING

I understand that sometimes the difference between a good book and a great book is getting the right advice. My own writing has benefited enormously from professional and peer insights, which have helped turn my promising manuscripts into bestsellers. Now I would like to share what I’ve learned to help other aspiring writers find their voice, polish their plots and achieve success.

Throughout my years as a feature writer, I have learned to get to the heart of the story and shape it in a way that keeps people reading. And as an editor, I have a critical eye and attention to detail. I promise to be encouraging and kind in my feedback, as I know how hard you will have worked on it. I particularly love novels with shades of grey, where villains have a back-story and heroes have their secrets. And I love to see women portrayed in all our messy, funny, glory. I am happy to take on line editing and development editing work.
