I know what you mean. It's quite an investment. One that I can't afford, either. That's why I give my work out for free or next to nothing.
So it stays rough around the edges, not in terms of grammar, spelling or formatting anymore, but in plot arc and character balance. Things like that.
But I would fear having a pushy editor or agent reshape my work into a form that makes it resemble everything else that's on the market. But I won't have to worry about that, will I? Because I don't query agents.
I actually like quirky structures that depart from the usual formulas. They don't always work, but they can often be exciting.
