Welcome to my profile! For as long as you stay, I hope you enjoy your time! Your number one question should be whether or not you need my services. My number one question is have you finished your manuscript? If you can answer yes to that question, then you’re in need of a book expert—someone who is capable of editing your manuscript for: ❖ Content (flow, character development, plot development, etc.); ❖ Grammar (noun-verb agreement, danglers, tense, word usage, etc.); ❖ Spelling (is it their, there, or they're?); ❖ Punctuation (does that comma go there, is that the proper formatting for an ellipsis?); ❖ Proper capitalization of terms (Government or government?); ❖ Proper treatment of numbers (101 or one hundred and one?); ❖ Proper formatting of foreign terms (avec vous?); ❖ Quotations and dialogue formatting (single quotations for a quote inside of character speech or double?); ❖ Reference formatting and fact checking; and ❖ So many other editing errors I’ve come across in my eleven years of editing for authors. However, I’m not just an editor. I’m capable of formatting the interior of your manuscript for electronic publication and paperback publication for the following platforms: ❖ Amazon KDP ❖ Barnes & Noble's Nook ❖ Kobo ❖ Smashwords ❖ Lulu ❖ BookBaby If you are thinking of publishing on a different platform, I’m a quick learner. Honestly, there are a few things to tweak here and there to make a document compatible on a different platform. Just ask, and I’ll let you know if I can work my magic. Interested in my specs? I’ve professionally content edited, line edited, copyedited, proofread, and formatted manuscripts for self-publication, submission to literary agents, and submission to publishers for the past eleven years working with a myriad of different genres. I’m always looking to learn something new. When I’m not editing, I’m rereading the Chicago Manual of Style—currently in its eighteenth edition—or taking continuing education courses via the Editorial Freelancer’s Association and online college courses. I believe in continuously learning, and editing is an ever-changing field. If you haven’t guessed, I focus specifically on the Chicago Manual of Style, the most commonly accepted and preferred style for literary agents, publishers, and review publications (the New York Times). I have worked for self-publishers, boutique publishers, content creation services, medium publishers, and literary agents. I keep my prices at the lower spectrum for editing and formatting as I believe every book deserves the chance to shine. Please ask me about my: ❖ Editor's Letters (Developmental, Line, and Copyediting) ❖ Style Guides Both are included with the price of my bid for your project. I know that was a lot to take in, and you undoubtedly have questions for me. Please feel free to send me a message at any time with your questions, and I will respond as soon as humanly possible.

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.

If you're looking for a fiction editor, memoir editor, nonfiction editor, or web content editor, I may be the perfect fit. I've edited 100+ fiction and nonfiction books, plus reports, web content and more. I'm also: - an Advanced Professional Member (highest level) of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP) - a Partner Member of the Alliance of Independent Authors (ALLi) - a graduate of the University of Oxford. I'm a book editor who loves helping indie/self-published authors, publishers, and businesses to produce work of an exceptional standard. My clients include independent publishers, authors, and companies like The Royal Mint. I read French at the University of Oxford and have lived and worked in France, hence the specialist arm to my business of editing books set in France, but I work on all kinds of other books too, including mysteries and thrillers, historical fiction, and memoirs/biographies. I'm putting the finishing touches to my debut novel, a mystery set in the south of France, which I plan to self-publish later this year (2025). I also have extensive experience as an editor of web content on a variety of platforms so can edit/proofread your website through the lens of SEO, web accessibility and user experience. I'm the author of 'Improve Your Author Website' and 'Improve Your Editor Website'. Message me for a no-obligation chat about your project! SERVICES I offer the following for all genres, esp. historical fiction, mystery, memoir, biography, French setting: - Line editing/copyediting (Separate or combo) – A line-by-line check (line editing) to improve word choice, flow, and sentence structure, while taking care to retain your unique author’s voice. Also a copyedit for errors in grammar, spelling and punctuation, the flow of language, and style issues. I can also carry out a degree of fact-checking. - Proofreading – A close check of your proof once it's been designed and typeset, looking for errors that have crept in during revision, plus issues with formatting, layout, page numbering, headers, footers, table of contents, and more. - Website editing and proofreading – I have an extensive background in web marketing. I can line-edit and copyedit your web text before you upload it to your site, then proofread your webpages. I will also make suggestions to improve your site's SEO, accessibility, and usability. - Edit of your first 10,000 words – I will carry out a detailed edit at the level of your choice (line edit, copyedit, or a combination of the two). You will receive a bespoke style sheet and an editorial report detailing areas of strength and suggestions for improvement. - Sample edits – Try before you buy. For a nominal fee (taken off the full cost of the edit if you hire me), I’ll provide an edit or proofread of 2,500 words and a short editorial report containing advice you can apply to your whole book. SUBJECTS AND GENRES I edit fiction, nonfiction, and web content. I enjoy working on a variety of topics and genres, but am especially interested and experienced in the following: - Historical fiction – I enjoy the research involved! I've edited many historical fiction manuscripts and have an A-Level in Early Modern History. I also enjoy reading historical fiction. - Books set in France – My MA in French from the University of Oxford and my experience of living and working in different regions of France will benefit your book - Mysteries/thrillers – I've written a mystery novel and studied the craft of writing, story structure, plot, and character arcs. I also read mystery books for pleasure. - Memoirs/biographies – I find other people's lives inspiring and fascinating, and will bring the principles of story craft to your book - Websites – Any topic! I worked in the field of web for almost 20 years and am the author of 'Improve Your Author Website' and 'Improve Your Editor Website'. WHAT YOU'LL GET I'll gather your full requirements to ensure I deliver exactly what you need. I will continue to communicate with you throughout our project and will deliver high-quality work on time, with full tracked changes and comments on reasons for suggested changes where needed. You are in control the whole time and do not have to accept all/any of my suggestions! I always carefully read through text at least twice to ensure I capture as many issues as possible. I'll produce a style sheet, unique to your project, that details style decisions made (including grammar, spelling, and punctuation). If you're a fiction writer, the style sheet will also include a descriptive list of characters, locations, and the timeline of your book to ensure consistency. My rates strongly reflect the effort I'll put into your project and the high quality of work I'll produce. It takes time to painstakingly check copy for errors, flow, consistency, and style standards. This work cannot be rushed. GET IN TOUCH Please contact me if I sound like the right editor for you!

You’ve read the same chapters too many times. The scenes that felt emotionally powerful while writing may no longer land the same way on the page. Pacing issues become invisible. Repetition hides in plain sight. What sounds clear in your head may not yet be clear to your reader. And also are you frustrated with audio that fails to engage your audience or diminishes the professionalism of your podcast, audiobook, or business? Is your audiobook repeatedly failing ACX compliance checks? Technical issues such as background noise, echo, inconsistent volume levels, or poor sound quality can distract listeners and weaken your message. Writing a book requires immersion. Editing a book requires distance. My role is to close the gap between the manuscript you intended to write and the experience your readers will actually have.

If meticulous, reliable, and hardworking are the qualities you’re looking for in an editor, then you have come across the correct profile. Hi, my name is Fahmida, and I am a qualified fiction editor and proofreader with 4+ years of experience. I was a teacher with 15 years of experience before I completed my certification from SA Writer’s College, which is a certified institute, with branches both in the UK and New Zealand. I am always revising and learning my craft, so what does that mean? It means, I read the latest books on writing and editing, attend writing and editing workshops, and make sure I am always reading fiction books. How does this help my craft? Well, it means I understand 3 or 4 act-structure, and can identify pacing and flow issues, as well as character growth and tension. I am particularly good at editing romance and would consider it my niche genre to work in. As a fiction editor, I offer the following services: - Developmental editing - Copy Editing - Proofreading - Line Editing - Plot review I work with all genres excluding sci-fi and horror. While we speak and write British English in South Africa, many of my clients are from the USA, so I am well conversant in American English spelling and grammar differences, and I can edit according to the Chicago Manual of Style, as well as the Oxford Style Guide.

Looking for an extra pair of sharp eyes for your manuscript? Look no further—I'm here to help! With over twelve years of experience as a book editor, I specialize in editing self-published books. My client list includes both publishing houses and independent authors, and I'm always excited to collaborate with new clients like you. I welcome manuscripts from almost all genres, and I have a particular knack for the following specialties: • contemporary romance • historical fiction • crime and mystery • popular science • memoirs • self-help • fantasy When it comes to editing, I take immense pride in delivering the highest quality work, regardless of the length or scope of the project. Editing is my passion, and I genuinely love what I do. Looking forward to working with you!
