How do I find an editor for my films?

[Drowynaut55]

Please help me, I don't exactly enjoy editing the most, I know, so I decided to make things better by finding an editor. I'm just not sure how. And is it possible to get a person who works for free, I could pay them though.

Yeah editing feels like work to me too.
You can learn a lot about writing and directing doing it though. You should edit your own stuff while you’ve got so much more to learn

Thanks, maybe I will hire Micheal Kahn

The trick is selling it.

If you're paying, say how much you're willing to pay.

Put the details of the film. Pages in script/running time, ratio, what's expected, timeline, experience required, any quirky things, expected potential problems etc.
