Where can I find a good book editor?
Ask for referrals and references. Asking your network for referrals to help you find an editor for your book is a good way to find someone who’s already proven they’ve got the skills to edit your book. If that doesn’t work, you could ask potential editors for references from their satisfied clients.
Where can I find a professional editor?
Most authors will credit their editors in the Acknowledgments section of their books, so if there is a particular book you have enjoyed, then check out whether you can hire that editor. Many editors will have websites and write articles or go on podcasts, so you can usually easily find editors once you start looking.
How do you trust an editor?
So it is best to stick to regionally published books or small presses who work heavily with freelance editors. The best way to find reputable editors is through someone who has had experience with one. Email other authors and ask for a referral for their editor or any others in the market.

Are editors good writers?
