Book editor

<p>this might sound lame, but lately i have been thinking that i would really like to do this as a job
i mean, i love reading...and i also actually really like editing things...ive been an editor for some writers on fanfiction.net, and i think that i am pretty good at it...</p>

<p>but i have some questions...</p>

<p>does anyone know around how much the average book editor makes?
im guessing that its not that much...it seems that every job that i have considered is really bad money wise</p>

<p>does anyone know how difficult it would be to get a job in this area?
because it also seems like it wouldnt be in all that high of demand</p>

<p>so basically, yeah....i think that it would be a good job, but in the back of my mind i am guessing that the money/availablity of jobs would be against me
so if anyone has anything to share with me about it, that would be great</p>
