Publishing 

Londubh Books offers best-in-class paid-for publishing services. We will manage all aspects of your project from manuscript/concept to finished books.

Jo O’Donoghue has created and project-managed numerous books for individuals and organisations, including Enda MacMahon’s A Most Respectable Meeting of Merchants for Dublin Chamber of Commerce, We Were Happy There (St Louis High School, Rathmines), A Special Place (Scoil Mhuire Cork) and a fiftieth anniversary history of Guaranteed Irish (spring 2024). Jo herself researched and wrote New Horizons, a history of the Sisters of St Louis, based on oral testimony and archival research, and is currently engaged on a similar book about the order’s history in England from 1912. 

Jo’s particular areas of interest are literature and the arts, history and local history, memoir and biography but she is willing to tackle any topic in the hope of learning something new.
