Maybe, but I would guess there are good editors and bad ones. I can spot editing problems in other people's writing that I can't see in my own (unless I leave it alone for a year or so, maybe then I could do it). I had another writer go through my zombie-type story recently, he picked up on stuff in that. And I picked up on stuff in his. That's the sort of thing I mean. You would need someone who writes in the same genre and understands how it works, I think you're more likely to find that among writers than editors.
