If you have decided to definitely go down the self-publishing route, then it will be very expensive to have your book professionally edited. What I would suggest is that you get a few friends to read it and give you their feedback. There are some self-publishing companies that offer an editorial service, but I don’t know how much they would charge. Authorhouse is one organisation that offers this so you could check them out.

Great site for self publishers:http://www.eliteediting.com/

They’ll work with you to get the whole book done when you need it and they’re really experienced with authors.

Here’s their link for writers:

If you have limited resources, you will not be able to afford a professional editor. They can be expensive (several hundred to several thousand dollars). You need be able to correct as many grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors on your own. There are at least seven errors in your post (do you know what they are? If not, take the time to learn more, let your word processor’s grammar and spell check help you, or hire an english major to do it).

Don’t expect very many sales through self publishing. There is a reason self publishing has a poor reputation in the industry.

I’m just a high school student, but I’m really good with words. I’m not a professional editor, but I would be happy to read through and edit your story for free. However, I’d like to know what the story is about first… I’m a somewhat picky reader…
