I submitted my novel to 5 editors. You pay an editor (dearly) to edit your work.
One of them, the one I wanted the MOST, rejected my work. :( He said I needed much work on POV: I evidently am using both third person limited AND third person omniscient, dropping in and out of each.
He also said the novel is not set into scenes with starts, middles, and ends (and characters somehow changing during those scenes.)
He could have just taken my money and done an edit.
Being he didn't, I just ordered a shitload of books on structure from Amazon, and am taking two more online classes to workshop the novel.
So Hunger won't see the light of day as soon as I had hoped. But, after much work, I'm sending it right back to this guy :)
Keep your fingers crossed that I can use 3rd person omniscient as well as I need to, and that I can fix the structure problems.
For now, back to the drawing board.
