What is the suitable rate for heavy editing?

Depending on what you want to invest you can go to Freelancer boards like Odesk.com or Freelancer.com, post a project and look at the bidders credentials in the profile and ask for samples of their writing. In my opinion editing of articles is more expensive then the writing of it.

for Heavy editing, i would suggest ezinearticles.com .. fast and much reliable without going through all reviews and such...

No offense, but if you have too many mistakes and the articles are high on researched content, even a good editor might miss the angle you want and that could make you dissatisfied.

I do my articles myself, but if I were you I'd post it on iwriter with the reference URLs that I want the writer to take information from and then promise a good pay and five star rating for a nicely written piece.

Hope that helps.

In this case you can hire any freelancer, as a proofreader or, editor. I am sure on freelancing site, there are many English speaker is available. so you can hire one Proofreader or, editor to resolve your problem. You can write your own article, then proofreader will check your article & fix them, if there is any mistake.

First and foremost, kudos to you for being able to write as well as you do in English! Your post was written better than many "articles" I've seen floating around on the web :rolleyes:

That being said, of course you want your articles to be perfect. So, you've got two options. You can pay someone to edit for you (my company offers an editing service that covers all of the bases you've mentioned, as do many other writing companies). Or, you can hire a writer to take over the entire thing from start to finish.

If you don't think a writer will put as much time/effort into the research as you will, you haven't been dealing with good writers! :p You'll need to do a little bit of homework to find a good one, but they *are* out there. And, in the end, having a professional do all of the work will probably give you a better finished product than trying to edit something you've tried to write yourself. We've actually had clients start off with editing and then move onto having us do all of the work from scratch because it was easier on them and the content was actually better in the end. You may find that to be the case as well.
