. Saying the book is nonfiction and how-to doesn't provide enough information to say John Smith is the editor you are looking for. If it is a how-to mow your lawn book, you want an editor familiar with gardening and landscaping; if it is a how-to find hidden treasure in foreclosed homes, you might want someone familiar with construction. Hopefully you get the idea. When you ask for recommendations for editors, you need to provide a significant amount of detail information in order to locate the right professional editor for your project.
I suggest you visit the Editorial Freelancers Association's website and look for an editor in their directory. Here is the link:
