Rebecca Collins – Editor

I have over twenty years' experience of working with authors and publishing clients. I am an online and print book editor, copyeditor, proofreader and publishing project manager. I specialise in non-fiction: academic, business, self-help, memoir and politics).

Although the real world is my speciality, I am the co-owner of a crime / suspense book publishing imprint called Hobeck Books so I dip my toes with much joy in the imaginary world.

I have worked as writer, editor and publishing project manager on projects for Oxford University Press, Research Retold, Cambridge University Press, Summersdale, Bloomsbury, Macmillan, Pearson and HMRC. I've also recently completed an MA by Research in Art and Design (Distinction) so I'm an artist too.

I have also created marketing content for IT recruitment company Henderson Drake (as well as my own company) so can create digital marketing assets for online advertising including video and 2D images.

Here are some nice things people I have worked with say about me:

Jamie Veitch, co-author of Vitalizing Purpose

"Rebecca's expertise, thoughtful suggestions and attention to detail have enhanced my manuscript. I couldn't be happier about my experience working with Rebecca. She is thorough, efficient, effective, and a real pleasure to work with."

Beverley Harvey, author of Eden Unbound

"After traditionally publishing four novels, I wrote my fifth with the intention of self-publishing but with the safety net of professional support and expertise. Happily I came across Arch Publishing, sister company to the brilliant Hobeck Books whom I follow on Twitter. Rebecca and the team set about turning my manuscript into a viable book, first with excellent typesetting and later by walking me through the somewhat complex Amazon dashboard. Fast, friendly and responsive is how I’d sum up my experience of Arch and I highly recommend them."

Bryn Thompson and Steve Lowndes, authors of Transformational Selling

“For what we ultimately paid against the work Rebecca did for us proved to be excellent value: not only did she do a great job, she removed the stress and hassle for us first time authors, allowing us to get on with our day job whilst she quietly and diligently go on with the job or getting our book in the best possible shape and then into print. We can’t recommend her services highly enough.”
