I saw a writer proclaim that he saw no need to pay a cent during the self-publishing process for editing or anything else.

I've said things like that on occasion

I didn't use an editor until my third book. I got a bit of a shock when I saw all the wavy red lines all over it. But I learnt a lot from that, and the one after that had very few red lines after I went through it myself.

I still do my own covers and internal layout though.
