I am interested in finding an editor to proof read a script for grammatical errors and such. I am not looking for "free work" I am a paying customer. Does anyone have any suggestions or resources for reputable editors?
Thanks

Just asking. When you say "script" do you mean manuscript, as in novel? Script is taken by many to refer to a movie or TV screenplay.

I do freelance manuscript editing work for any type of project; you can check out the details at http://www.melissamayntz.com/editor.html and I'd be happy to answer any additional questions you may have via email or PM.
I'm an editor. Send a few pages to my email on the site linked below for a free sample edit. If you like what I do, we can go from there.
Try Xlibris. I experience them myself. They offer a wide-array of discounted publishing services from editing to marketing your book.
Just balancing the scales.

You could post some in SYW.
That way instead of one editor, you will probably get input from readers (your targets), editors, authors, people who work in publishing, agents. There are teachers here, even at the professor level (some English major). You have many students (college level) here who major in English and on and on and on...
Put a request in beta forum if you do not wish to post on the board even. Then, forward your MS to several people who respond - you will find some of the same I listed above will respond.
Best thing? 'Tis free (SYW/Betas) - many times for same level advice you seek to pay someone for.
Just a thought...I mean before you pay someone. (nothting against those offering their services).
