How to Find a Good Editor for Your Book?

There's a million editors out there, right? Yeah. And they are not created equal and the cost is not necessarily correlated with value or quality. As far as cover design, I think you can get a really great cover that checks all the boxes probably for less than $1,000. Some of this depends on genre and what you're going for. Sometimes science fiction fantasy can be more expensive because you might be hiring an illustrator for editing.
