Hey Hitch,
My personal opinion is if you can't afford an editor, get a job and save your pennies till you can afford one.
But I have also heard stories of I paid $ xxx and look what I got back.
Ok so usually those turned out to be well they say they normally charge XXX but just for you I will only charge XX. "No, I won't give you a sample of my work or tell you anyone else I has edited."
Or the absolute worst ones are "my writing is prefect, so I don't need extra eyes".
No I stand corrected,
The absolute positive worst worst are "the I don't notice errors so my readers won't either."
Well now that statement might be somewhat true because they won't have readers.
And yes, if one charges for something, I do expect it to be professionally done.
The one exception to that might be the crafter that was bullied into making some ornaments cheap for someone else to give away at Christmas. They looked horrible. Let's see she dropped a ho off of a ho ho ho door hanger and you couldn't tell what the crocheted stockings were. Hey she probably figured the bully was going to take the credit.
One person that got some of those for Christmas told off the bully and said that she needed to go give the woman that made them more money.
