Ahh, right.

I'm sure you already know this, but choose carefully with a hired editor. There are a lot of people who scam new writers. There are, however, some legit people who could prove tremendously helpful. I know that Jeff VanderMeer offers a book critiquing service, as does John Jarrold (who is also a reputable lit agent, but he keeps the book-doctor and lit-agent aspects quite separate and is legit).

Yeah, I started stalking P&E a while ago, because I knew some people had to be scamming someone somewhere. (Sad state huh?)

But I'll look into VanderMeer. Thanks.
