Editing/proofreading is an expensive service in the real world, and I doubt all of those self-professed real life editors are so perfect either.

I have a feeling that anyone who buys fanfic beta from a stranger without references is going to be an impatient sort who doesn't really want constructive criticism anyway. Perhaps basic spelling and grammar editing is all that would be appropriate for those cases.

The editing side of your friend's idea might actually work, as long as your friend can stir up enough interest with her marketing. That's where the real skill will lie.

I'm not going to touch the fic-for-pay side as that's been covered in discussions here so many times.

They aren't. Every editor misses some things, and every editor is weak in some areas and strong in others. Any of us who've been at it for a while know that - it's why there are different branches of editing, for Pete's sake.

DA

Agreed. My pro-published work typically goes through at least three sets of editors -- the main content edit, and at least a couple of rounds of proofing/copyediting once that's complete.

OP's friend sounds like they're offering the final stage without the previous foundations. If that's what people want, and if they're aware of what they're getting then that's fine, but I'd hesitate to call it 'editing'.
