Darlene Jones (darlene_jones) | 153 comments Do you know anyone else who writes? If so, partner up with them. Do you have a writers guild where you live? They might have critiquing groups you could join and get help there.

Regina Shelley (reginas) | 135 comments I'm a big believer in investing in yourself. You don't have to hire a professional editor for big bucks, but I would urge you to at least consider hiring someone you know is competent at editing and pay them some manageable fee. You get what you pay for.

Or, as Darlene suggests, find a competent writer and do a trade. That's an excellent idea.

Racquel Kechagias (rkechagias) | 7 comments Hi David,

I highly recommend that you talk to Heather (http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/58...) she is working on editing my novels and from what I've seen of her work so far she is a great editor.

She doesn't work for free but she doesn't charge the 'big bucks' either.

Lynda Dietz | 354 comments I'm also available to edit children's books. Please check out my blog, Easy Reader, for pricing:

My fees are reasonable but not set in stone, and I am always willing to work toward a price we can both live with.

Thanks for considering,
Lynda
