I'm a two-time Hugo Award finalist, my regular clients include Fireside Magazine and Europe Comics, and I also review for Publishers Weekly. Stories featuring diverse characters are my jam, and I keep my rates at the low end of industry standard (http://www.the-efa.org/rates/). Like a lot of working editors, I have a wait list of a few months (editing books takes time, and we're limited in how many projects we can work on at once!), but I have some spots free this summer. I'm always happy to recommend other editors who specialize in projects like yours if you contact me and need someone sooner than I'm available.
