Rebecca Jones – Editor

I provide in-depth editorial consultancy reports, manuscript assessments and submission advice for writers preparing to approach agents. With a career spanning three major literary agencies and including UK, US and international territories, I have up-to-date knowledge of the current market and experience evaluating and developing numerous manuscripts. I have held senior positions at Rogers, Coleridge and White and Ed Victor Ltd, and I specialize in commercial fiction (women's fiction, historical, fantasy, crime and thrillers), as well as children's and YA fiction.

I was Junior Agent at the literary agency The Wylie Agency for two years, reviewing literary and general fiction and non-fiction and managing a list of authors. I moved to the agency Ed Victor Ltd, where I handled international translation rights across their adult and children’s lists and spent a year running the rights department. I joined Rogers, Coleridge and White as Foreign Rights Manager in 2014, developing their commercial fiction and children’s and YA sales and working with authors including Ian Rankin, Jenny Colgan, Joanne Harris and the children’s writer Katherine Rundell. I have a First class degree in English from the University of Cambridge.

I can provide structural and developmental editing, manuscript assessments, and query letter and submission to agent reviews.
