Editor Recommendations?

Hey. So while in the midst of my internal battle/research into the pros and cons of self and trade publishing, this is an important point.

One thing I'm sure of at this point is that should I decide to go with self publishing in the end, it'd do me no good to put the book out without having a professional editor gnaw it through.

There's a lot of information in Google and various blogs, but I've no way of verifying it and general the opinion seems to be: follow the word of mouth.

So here I am, looking for some.

Can any of you recommend a good editor? What is the reasonable price range?

I've found one I've kept tabbed for a while (must've been a result of some research I don't remember anymore), so I'd like to ask if anyone could tell me if she'd be a good option? http://www.annagenoese.com/

Thank you.

Thanks! Sorry, I've been around here for a while and it's still easy to miss/fail to find something you need at the moment

I'll have to figure something out. I've browsed a lot, and no editor seems cheap, they oscillate in the similar price range. Well, I'm sure you COULD find a cheap one, but I'd rather look for a way to get more money and spend it well, than to spend a half of it for nothing.

It's like buying furniture. Get a good chair, pay more, enjoy it for years or buy a crap one, sit down and hurt your bum when it breaks under you (true story, damn the tailbone lol).

If I wanted to go the cheap way, I'd simply settle for my own corrections and nitpicks my friend gives me (as I do for him).

It seems that in self-publishing you get about 1 chance. If a book has typos/grammar errors, it's about as good as done, seeing how many people already expect a crappucino quality when they open a self-pub.
