Let us assume I have finally finished my wonderful 90k-word novel. It is, after many drafts/rewrites, the best I can make it. Should I find an editor and pay to have the ms made even better? Or attempt to find an agent knowing the chances are good editing will have to be done prior to submission to a publisher?
Will the editor I hire polish my ms to fit all agents needs? Will I be wasting my $$ on the editor only to have an agent dismiss that and want my work edited his/her way?
Bottomline: which comes first, an agent or an editor?
