There's just no way I can afford to hire a professional editor. The best I can do is offer my next book up to Beta readers on-line when its ready. (And from the looks of the chapter I'm revising this morning, it's going to be a while yet. Egads!)
Maybe asking here... I'm sure a lot of people would love to read your books, and especially to find errors!
