When I wrote the post about needing an editor, I had NO idea how much getting an editor would cost. Most of the legitimate places online, like Createspace, charge pennies per page. It doesn't seem so bad at first. 0.022 doesn't seem like much. Once you multiply it by your page count things get a little ugly. That's not even taking into consideration that there are a few different levels of editing available.
Here's the math:
119,431 X 0.022 = $ 2,627.48
Now, I don't know about you, but I don't have 2700 dollars lying around. I wish I did, because I would put it towards lots of things like more new school clothes for the brats, and a spa day just for me........sigh, unfortunately 2700 bucks will take some raising. So that release date in October might only have some advice from readers, and reviewers. I hope my drive and dedication can make it as good as possible, without that expensive legitimate editor. In the mean time I'll keep fixing what I find, and start saving.
