The one that comes to mind immediately is Spike Y Jones; he's editing some of the stuff I'm writing through a contact with another person I met while she was editing some of my stuff. I've been seeing Spike's name on things since 4E Champions.Hell, I've even managed to wrangle some editing work by emailing some publishers and saying things like "love the book, too bad about the editing" because the editing was, quite frankly, so bad that it very nearly made me decide not to buy anything more from that company.So, yes, there are still places for the indy editor, if you can find them and manage to make some contacts along the way (not to mention show yourself to be competent enough to make it as an indy).</blockquote>
