I am not an editor by any stretch of the imagination but I could do better than many of the books I have tried to read.
I tried my hand at proofreading. One book I ran across had an average of 3 errors per sentence. (The author had asked me to look and let him know why he was not selling.)
Another was better, it only had one error for every 3 paragraphs. But his book had other problems too.

Think hard before offering your services.
