Recomended Editors
Paying an experienced editor to look over your manuscript is money well spent in my opinion. If you are planning to self-publish, then you should be hiring an editor. They generally start at US$0.02 per word or US$40 an hour. I truly believe its money well spent. You do not want overlooked errors going to the printer, right? Here is an editor I highly recommend:

More on Christine:
I am a writer, reader, author, and publisher. I am a mother of two, mostly grown, children and a wife. I consider myself a jack of all trades and master of none. I like working with my hands so when the need or desire arises, I crochet, sew, tile, paint, cross stitch, frame pictures, stain furniture, cut and split fire wood, x-country ski, train and ride horses…
But my main love is writing. I started writing in college (a while ago!) and haven’t stopped since. For a reason I don’t really know, ʼround about 2003 I decided I wanted to write a novel. Up to that point I had been writing short children’s stories, but never pursued publication. In March of 2008 Rosebloom was born. And as any writer can tell you, it was a birth! It was perhaps a bit more for me since I self published the work, which isn’t particularly hard, but just takes a lot of time. (I didn’t use on online method but went through a brick and mortar printer).
In 2010 I published book II in the series – A Burnished Rose – and I’m busy on the screenplay for that same story. I published the third and final novel in the Rose Series – Rose from the Ashes – in September, 2012, and Living in the House of Drugs in spring the 2013. I wrote The Red Velvet Box because I was inspired. My newest book project is an historical fiction novel about the creation and creators of Nancy Drew! I’m having the time of my life!
