For the past seven years, I've worked with researchers, academics, healthcare professionals, businesses, government organisations, startups, and authors to produce high-quality written content. My experience includes editing and proofreading journal manuscripts, dissertations, theses, systematic reviews, literature reviews, grant applications, medical device documentation, regulatory documents, capability statements, government tenders, business proposals, technical reports, books, KDP manuscripts, nonfiction publications, website content, blog articles, SEO content, white papers, policy documents, training materials, and professional correspondence.
As a published author in peer-reviewed journals and a PhD researcher in Medical Sciences, I understand the level of accuracy, clarity, and attention to detail expected in academic, scientific, and medical writing. I have experience working with medical literature, clinical research documents, medical device submissions, scientific manuscripts, healthcare content, genetics, public health, and evidence-based research, while also editing commercial and business documents where readability and professionalism are equally important.
My editing goes beyond correcting grammar and punctuation. I improve structure, strengthen flow, refine language, eliminate inconsistencies, fact-check where appropriate, format references, and ensure every document communicates its message effectively while preserving your voice. I work confidently with APA, MLA, Harvard, Vancouver, and Chicago referencing styles, as well as both British and American English.
Whether your project involves academic editing, medical writing, scientific research, book editing, Amazon KDP publishing, developmental editing, copy editing, proofreading, formatting, or publication preparation, my goal is to deliver work that is clear, accurate, polished, and ready for submission, publication, or presentation.
In addition to editing and proofreading, I can assist with Microsoft Word formatting, tracked changes, reference management, tables and figures, document layout, Canva designs, Adobe Acrobat PDF editing, presentation formatting, and publication-ready files for journals, conferences, and Amazon KDP. I pride myself on responsive communication, fast turnaround times, and consistently delivering work that exceeds expectations.
If you're looking for someone who can confidently handle everything from a single-page business proposal to a 100,000-word manuscript or a complex medical research project, I'd love to discuss how I can help.
Looking forward to working with you.
Best,
Arshi

Hi there!
My name is Gabriel Hatcher and I like to think of myself as a personal editor. What does that mean? That means there's no impersonal editing team behind me, no time saving tricks like AI or Grammarly, and your project doesn't get put into a 10+ project backlog. I do all of my editing personally, without any tools, and I only take on 1-2 projects at a time so that I can complete your project quickly and with my full focus. Whether you need copyediting, developmental editing, or proofreading, I'm here to help!
You might notice my profile looks a little barren compared to some of the other editors on this site, but there's a reason for that!
1. I take my client's privacy seriously. When you hire me, you need help, not my career. You won’t find me badgering you after the fact for something to add to my profile and I take non-disclosure agreements very seriously.
2. I also write! As an editor, I believe it's not only important to know the technical ins and outs of the skill, but what makes writing good. I write both fiction and non-fiction and I understand what makes writing compelling, meaningful, and enduring. That being said, I don’t generally offer copywriting or ghostwriting services unless under very specific circumstances, which makes adding that qualification to my profile difficult.
3. I’ve always been an editor. I started writing and editing straight out of college. Having since become a father of two, I haven't done anything but raise my kids, write, and help make other people’s work better. So in that vein, you aren’t going to find other work history, because there isn’t any!
What I'm interested in:
- Fiction novels
- Non-fiction books
- Blogs, articles, journals
- Scripts
- Academic or technical writing
- First time author's passion projects
What I'm not interested in:
- Erotica/gratuitous romance novels
- Books containing gratuitous torture or sexual abuse
- Ghostwriting
- Copywriting
- SEO optimization
- Beta reading
So if you want an editor with a personal touch, send me a message. Let's talk about what makes your work unique, profitable, or meaningful, and what I can do to elevate it so it matches what you’ve always imagined it would be.

Currently Accepting: Beta reading, developmental editing, and proofreading jobs. Please note that if your manuscript hasn't been edited and "proofreading" turns into "editing," then I will charge extra for the job, or we'll part ways since the job wasn't as discussed.
Currently on Hold: Ghostwriting.
My skills begin by pulling ideas from the shadows of everyday life and creating realistic characters, ideas, and worlds. I am always up for the challenge.
My interests lie in stories, novels, and the creation of an escape from the mundane. If you need help with developmental editing or beta reading to know how your novel lands, I could be your girl. I am an experienced novelist, beta reader, and (used to be) ghostwriter with the full-rounded potential to proofread anything you need.
My areas of interest in the fictional world are cozy mysteries, all genres of romance, horror, science fiction, urban fantasy, slice-of-life, coming-of-age, paranormal, crime/thriller, and fairytale retellings.
Communication is key to the success of your novel! Expect clarifying questions from me, respectful comments, honesty, and collaboration!

You’ve spent hours, weeks, months, perhaps even years, skillfully stringing your words together into sentences, paragraphs, and chapters until you got a book. Congratulations! Your next step is to find a professional book editor to help ensure your tapestry of words accurately conveys the intended message, has a perfect logical flow, and is free from errors—that’s where I come in!
I’ve made it my life’s purpose to help authors like you get your writing out to the world in its finest form. This is my passion, my heart’s work, and what makes me a happy camper. It’s not merely my “job.”
I enjoy editing a lot because my attention to detail borders on obsession—I will ensure every last comma, word, sentence, paragraph, and chapter meets the ever-demanding publication standards.
Besides being a native English speaker with a thorough understanding of English grammar rules and usage, I have over 7 years of experience in writing and editing content on various subjects; therefore, I am a very versatile editor.
The services I'd be happy to offer you as your book editor include:
- Substantive editing for argumentation, syntax, tone, cohesion, and concise wording.
- A thorough spelling, punctuation, and inconsistencies check.
- Evaluation of accessibility to the target reader.
- An expert-level review of flow, structure, and organization.
- Overall review of clarity and rewriting of sentences/sections as needed.
- Localization of translated content/content written by non-native English writers to US or British English dialects.
- In-depth editorial feedback on tone and style appropriateness.
I have provided proofreading and editing services to published authors, including but not limited to:
A CEO of a multi-million dollar company
A Highly sought-after Marketing Coach
Therapists
Entrepreneurs
I strive to provide a personalized experience that meets the needs of each book project and client. Part of that includes providing an itemized price estimate for each project. Typically, this ranges between $0.005- $0.02 per word, depending on the project’s complexity.
Let’s work together to ensure your book gets out to your audience where it belongs, in its finest form!
