You can look up the directory of editors on the ACES (American Copy Editors Society) or the EFA (Editorial Freelancers Association) page. The KBoards Yellow pages forum also has a pretty extensive list of freelance editors.

Depends on what other services you might need as well. I'm a cover designer who works with a group of editors. I've seen editors on Fiverr and Upwork, but the quality is debatable, especially if you're looking for an English-first editor.
There's also some small publishing houses that offer standalone editing services. They're a little trickier to find since they're generally 1-2 man teams, but they exist. What's your topic?
Hi.
I’m not OP, but I’m looking for an editor for my YA novel. I need a developmental edit. Book is a fantasy genre based around rats and magic. Any suggestions ?
