The other option is...learn to edit your own work.
It's a myth that you can't. Just like you get better at writing by writing, you can get better at editing your own work by editing your own work.
Use your first readers to discover your blind spots.
If you read a lot, you should be able to spot good writing versus bad writing. Apply the same objectivity to your own work.
And use a tool like the Serenity Software "Editor" to fix your glaring copy errors and tighten loose prose.
Write write write. Edit edit edit. Repeat repeat repeat.
