Professional editors are expensive. I went into my search to find one knowing this fact without really knowing it. My definition of expensive was around $400. The general price range of the editors recommended to me by an acquaintance that used to be an editor was between $600-$1500 dollars. o.o
As fate or luck (I have yet to decide which) would have it, the person who has an open space and is willing to take in my literary baby and train it into grace and beauty was not the one on the lower end of the pay scale. So here I sit, having to decide just how much I am willing to put into this chance to better my manuscript and give it the best chance possible to see the sunlight of bookstore shelves.
Will I chicken out as I have often done when ready to send it out into the world for consideration? Or will I take a risk and spend the money that was intended for my student loan repayment?
You’ll just have to wait and see. ^_~
Lots of mystery,
Abby
