I know book editing can be expensive, but you cannot bootstrap yourself out of a good book.
"But I don't have all that money, so what do I do?" you might ask.
You can do one of two things.
The two options you have are:

You can ask your editor to give you a payment plan, if the fee is expensive or not convenient for your budget at the time. That way, you can get quality book editing, while paying conveniently.
At Aurora Publishing Global, we do not hesitate to break payment into installments, depending on how large the payment is. This is so that our clients do not max out their cards while trying to pay us.
Hence, for an editing fee of $1500, we can divide into $300 payment in 5 places. At the end of the day, you don't feel like you paid $1500.
Even a payment of $200, can be divided into 2 payments, for ease.
You wrote the book. Now, hand it over to an editor, to polish and bring out the brilliance of your book.
Grammarly does not in any way replace a professional editor. Instead of bootstrapping, ask your editor for a payment plan.

One way you can source for funding for your book, without feeling like you are begging people for money, is:
PREORDER.
In the past, I have always seen preorders as a marketing strategy for creating awareness, before your book is published.
However, it can be more. My eyes were opened to this when I charged a client for printing her journals and she said she would pay after she launched preorders for the journal.
Then I dug further into this and said, "why not!"
The first and only time I did preorder for my book was with my first book.
I launched preorder on Amazon and was also selling independently. Because of the buzz I had created for the book, I had over 100 people preordering the book. With the money realized from preorders, I could conveniently pay for any publishing services that I required.
So people, do not shortchange your publishing journey. Give it what it's worth.
Let Aurora Publishing Global help you with your book's editing. Our prices are fair and we allow comfortable payment, through safe payment gateways.
