I got a professional editor to do a job on my book for €400. She pointed out holes in the plot, lack of motivation, pointless characters, misspellings and lots of other flaws. A few of them I had suspected, but some of them were a total surprise - and blindingly obvious once she said them. It's clear she read the whole thing, cover to cover, at least three times with concentration, so I reckon she really earned her money.
I'm in a writing group where we critique each other's work, and just 1000 words of uninspiring prose can feel like a day's work.
