Hi All,
I'm looking for suggestions for professional editors people have used. I'm looking for a copy edit or a line edit. Currently, I'm looking at using Bookbaby but I'd love to get some other suggestions either of individuals or services.
You might ask Janet Taylor-Perry if she'll take a look. She is a member of tNBW.

I made a post on the Editorial Freelance Association because it was posted on a blog I follow: https://www.janefriedman.com/resources/
It's quite overwhelming. I've received well over 40 inquiries about my posting so far. I'd say about 80% have appeared very professional and have offered sample edits of varying lengths. Pricing between .01 and .02 per word.
Has anyone used EFA? Do you have a favored editor?
I'm in the same dilemma. My editor, sadly, passed away last May and my novels is halfway being edited. Any recommendation? Any editor with whom any of you have worked before?
Kiss,
Gacela

I know Anita Mumm has worked with members from the site before. She's taught a Strongest Start class in the past.

When can we expect to see another class? Sounds like a good investment.
Also check out Fiverr. They have some highly rated editors. If you're sure your manuscript is written the way you want it, then you probably need just a copy edit, which is cheaper. Personally, I plan to start with a line edit. The more reputable ones will do a sample edit, although you'll probably have to pay for it (e.g. $50 or $100 for 10,000 words).

I'm hesitant about Fiverr. I'm also not looking to skimp on quality for cost as much as I can afford. Any editing stretches my budget but luckily I have my wife's support! I posted a request for pretty standard rates between .01-.02 per word.
Talk about incentive to cut out unnecessary words...
I'm vetting editors from EFA right now. If I have a good experience I'll be sure to follow up on this forum. If nothing else, I've been impressed by the volume.
