I'm also in an editing dilemma. Does anyone know when to seek professional help when it comes to editing? At what stage of writing is professional editing adviveable?

Hi Grace,

You should seek an editor once your manuscript is finished. It's worth re-drafting two or three times to get most of the obvious issues cleared away, allowing your editor to focus on the bigger picture stuff like structure, characterisation, etc.
