Where do I go looking for an editor?

+0
−0

I have several completed short stories, and I'm considering having them line-edited before I submit them.

But I have no idea where to look for editors. How do I know who's any good? Where do I look, and what do I look for?

I think the best way to find an editor is through word of mouth. This is why it's valuable to become part of your local writing community. Writing itself is a solitary endeavor but being a writer benefits from being in the society of writers.

Are there writing centers near you where you could attend events with other writers? Is there an opportunity to join a writing group?

Once one starts meeting other writers, things such as editor recommendations come easily.
