One of the most common complaints about self-published books is that they aren't professionally edited. Typos, grammatical errors, poor plot structure - these are all things that can crop up in indie books. Of course, traditional publishers have professional editors who are supposed to review and edit their books before release. One way to avoid that problem for indie authors is to hire a freelance editor yourself. I don't use a professional editor myself, but I plan to hire one once I get the scratch together. I collected some of the freelance editors from Sophrosyne at Kboards and thought I'd share the list. This list will be updated and expanded over time. If you're a freelance editor who'd like to be added, let me know in the comments.
