Also "Publishers" don't do editing. Some specific person employed by them does. These may be anything from excellent to just average in ability, possibly less. And those editors aren't hatched in creches in the basement of the publisher's buildings. Those budding editors hired by the publishers could just as easily work for themselves and hire out their services. Do you really think that the only way to get a book professionally edited is by going through the BPHs? It is a perfect career for a laid off or retired experienced editor who wants to work part time at home. Lots of talent available even outside of the BPHs.
