I the genre I read it's normal to see authors self publish some books and place others with small independent publishers. In both cases the books will be edited, in the case of the self published books the author pays for editing. Even the authors I know who are editors in their day job use a paid editor for their own work.
I find the constant belief that self publishing, ie Indie, means poor unedited work most annoying. Even the print books produced by createspace are of high quality. Perhaps it's time the big publishers looked to the independants for a new business model.
