Who do you use for editing and cover design?
Thankfully, my beta readers are really good editors, so they do the bulk of it, but my proofreader is Kim Huther (www.wordsmithproofreading.wordpress.com). So far I have designed my own covers since I've always enjoyed working with Photoshop. I intend to hire someone to do whatever I write after Ilyon Chronicles. I just haven't decided who yet.
I know this is a really, really late answer (Goodreads doesn't like to notify me of comments :P ), but here it is. When I started self-publishing still had a really bad stigma, so to have CreateSpace listed as the publisher wasn't a good idea. I think that stigma has almost entirely gone away (at least in the general public), so it's probably more of a personal choice now. Having something other than CS probably looks more "professional" but it's not as important as it once was. :)
