Re: Editing. Adam Dray edited Annalise twice, once for the initial release and again for the re-written and re-organized Final Edition. Before the first release, he only had the text to work with; in between, he not only had the chance to play the game himself, he had the opportunity to watch me play it as an outside observer. There were elements of the game that he understood from watching me play that enabled the second "round" of editing to be much, much more effective than the first!
I offer that as support for the point that having someone who's aligned with your goals for the game is probably going to be more of net gain to you in the publishing process, regardless of how formal of an editor they are or how much you pay them.
