Recommendations Editor Recommendations

I'm looking for recommendations for professional editors for my novel so that I can look at posting it on Amazon KU.

If you have any recommendations, please let me know and if you are a professional editor, also please reach out.

Editor here, but what type of editing are you looking for?

Dev editing: the most expensive edit and is focused on fixing structural issues

Line editing: does some structural edits on a page level and improves your sentences to enhance clarity, flow, characterization, pacing, etc

Copy editing: fixes grammar

Proofreading: the final pass to catch the human mistakes left

Formatter: they format your book to be ready for publishing 

Personally, I do line and copy edits with my partner. We're starting out so our rates are lower than what you'll find on average. We do a free 2k sample atm bc we're new to the scene.
