I hired an Amazon editor.  She said, I say boastfully, "There were virtually no spelling, grammar, or punctuation errors so let's talk about structural issues..."

I wrote a book with a major publisher and got 15% (if memory serves me right). 


If I did it again, I would self publish and pay for a freelance editor. 

The value really depends on your intended audience. My guess is your book niche and you will be able to navigate distribution better than a publisher. 

I would double down on the investment in a freelance editor to help you polish and pull it together. (My guess is that while you might write well, you are not a professional editor.)
