Choosing an editor is like finding a dance partner: you may both be very good at your parts, but be rubbish together. There is nothing wrong with that, and there should be no issue in telling a prospective editor that you don’t think your styles mesh well, or that you’ve found another editor that you have a good working raptor with.
Not raptor, rapor. Damned autocorrect. Unless your book is about raptors.
