I'm thinking of self publishing. Now what all the blogs tell me I have to do is hire a professional editor, who will see any plot / character holes, other story problems etc. (For the moment, I'm not talking about [copy editors](http://blog.nathanbransford.com/2008/07/editing-vs-copyediting.html)). Problem is the good editors can charge hundreds of dollars, something I can ill afford. I have been looking at online critique groups like [Critters](http://www.critters.org/), [Critique Circle](http://www.critiquecircle.com/), [Scribophile](http://www.scribophile.com/), and from what I can tell, the reviewers do a good job of finding problems in your work. So do I still need to pay someone hundreds of dollars, when I can outsource (crowdsource?) the process?
