More on editors

I've tried several editors from the Editors Association of Canada web site. They all seem very nice, but pricey. I lucked into my editor in this way. He's local so we can meet and just chew the fat about my writing and where particular stories are heading, versus where I want them to go. We've got a great rapport. Although he's not cheap, I wouldn't trade him in for the world. He has helped bring my writing to a higher level. And I swear he has ESP: not a bad thing for an editor to have. So if you come across someone like this in your editor search, hang on to him/her for dear life. Your writing will flourish.
