There are lots of editors out there. I used Nancy Fulda for Under Witch Aura (she used to do some work for Baen). She is an incredible storyline editor. The woman knows her stuff inside and out. She works by referral only (and is probably booked solid for the year).
I do storyline editing and also copyediting in conjunction with my husband. I generally work from referrals as well.
So as to not be tooting my own horn, depending on what you are looking for, I can probably point you to a couple of other editors...one comes to mind that I haven't used, but I know she used to edit for one of the small publishers. Samhain? maybe? Not sure. I'd have to look. She's expensive from what I recall.
They're out there. But you have to shop around, know what you are paying for (copyediting is entirely different from storyline editing and so on).
It depends on what you need, but they are available all the way from 'last minute, quick read-through' for 25 dollars to 1700 for a package deal.
