What I wouldn't give for a good editor. As much as everyone hates publishers...their services sure are invaluable.

Editors that I know usually get paid -BY THE WORD-

Even at $.02/word, the average 100,000 word novel would cost $2,000 (USD) to have professionally edited..

And don't even get me started on the power of the dollar when it comes to marketing.
