Barbararogan@msn.com I found to be a good source.  She had some specials going, one was $50.00 to edit 5000 words.  I took advantage of that one and found her advice very helpful.  I think if you can afford her she would be a good source.  I took her advice to heart and ended up adding to my beginning.  I made my charaters warmer and (not because of her advice) added a new ending.  My novel is 180,000 words long so she obviously didn't edit much of it.  I am much happier with my novel and I think it is a much better piece.  I want to post a Query letter on this website but can't figure out how.  I also want to post the first three chapters but again I can't figure out how.  I though it was possible to post a general query letter (not addressed to a specific agent) on this website.  Now I'm beginning to wonder.  Good luck!  I reccommend Barbara.  If you find another, please let me know.

I'm an editor and would be happy to give you a rate quote. I keep telling myself that I'm going to focus on my writing this year, but I keep getting sucked back into the editing side of things. I just love helping a writer shape his/her story from something good to something great--and marketable! Feel free to check out my website (to ease any worries you may have about me being a con) and drop me a line if you're interested in talking further. www.redinkandquilling.com

Best of luck finding a responsive and affordable editor for your work!
