Sunday, April 13, 2014 spring "looking ahead" event

Yes, that seems to be the way of things now. And at least hiring your own editor you could choose someone you felt was "on the same page". I personally would never go for one of the publishing packages because I think for the most part they offer far more than they ever deliver and they are way too costly, plus they steal some of your power in the process. There are invariably others with a different take on this...
One more thing. I completely agree with you. They are pricy and not necessary.
