Don't misunderstand me. I would like to see better copyediting out there, and I do respect the process. I just don't want to see ridiculous fees. We already have enough things in this world ridiculously priced. I envison it being a great opportunity for retired high school English teachers. I just don't want an industry that's based out of high-priced Manhattan offices, with plush office furniture etc. If the author isn't living in that situation, the copyeditor shouldn't either. If the author is an average person writing out of a simple home, I don't see why the copyeditor should be above that. The job each does involves a similar process with similar equipment. Adequate remuneration for both is fine.
