I went and googled "manuscript critique" and OH MY GOD. The "pro" rate for line editing is so far beyond what she's asking for that it's completely insane. (We're talking thousands for a full novel-length manuscript.) And this money, after all, goes to a good cause rather than an overpaid editor with an over-inflated ego. Yeah. In the long run, it's worth it not only for the cause but for what I'll probably get out of it, professionally.
But ... I can't believe I just bought an editing session with Elizabeth Bear. Oh God. *hyperventilates*
