Self-Publishing and Editing

I just read something in one of my author groups where a badly-written blurb of a self-published book was being discussed, and someone stated the lack of editing was the problem with self-publishing.

Self-published books are NOT always unedited.

Publisher-produced books are NOT necessarily edited correctly or well.

There is absolutely nothing stopping a self-published author from hiring an editor and proofers, just like there's nothing stopping her from purchasing a professional cover. I use a content editor and two proofers. In The Starving Years I've used two beta readers as well. I do suspect that many self-published authors are not jumping through the extra hoops. The last self-published work I looked at had errors on the very first page. But there's certainly no secret society of editors who are blacklisting an author simply because they're self-publishing.
