You're right, Cian. Many good, experienced editors must resort to freelancing and charging by the job (something I've so far managed to avoid).
Again, though, it's tough to find these sound operators. The net is also deluged with offers of 'editorial services' that ain't worth the nail their folks use to hang their pointless diplomas on the wall. Some are sheer scams. Many are tied to Publish on Demand vanity press.
Anyone seriously aiming to self-publish a meaningful book should take the time to dig for valuable, qualified help before rushing in and adding to what's becoming the reader's equivalent of a publisher's nightmare slush pile.
Most self-pubbing authors (NOT ALL) are the unspeakable in pursuit of the sale of the unreadable. And that's an insult to the reader. Neil
