How to Hire the Right Editor for Your Book

The dirty little secret is that most editors work freelance even when they're working on traditionally published books. Some authors will take editors with them from publishing house to publishing house in some cases. The cheapest editors often don't speak English as the first language, which really does have a negative impact on their editing. You've just invested years of your life into this book. It deserves a good editor, not the very cheapest one.
