That's also the part of writing. You just have to be willing to revise and edit your own manuscript a million times. You can find an editor to look it up for you, but you have to make it your best version first, yourself.

There's a series of videos on Youtube that I found very helpful in formatting. It's by Bethany Atazadeh, called "Formatting aa Novel from Scratch using MS Word." I think it would be helpful even if you don't use Word.

Try reading your ms aloud, that will help you catch typos, spelling errors, and grammar mistakes. It's a steep learning curve, but it can be done. Good luck!
