I have a book to be published, about100000 words. The publishing company said it would cost thousands of editing fees. Is this normal?
It is normal. There is a system of three reviews and three schools in the publishing process. Just because you think there are few mistakes, you can omit the editing and proofreading steps. For example, 1.50000 words, 10000 words, proofreading for three times, ranging from 60 at least to1.5 at most, so it is normal to proofread only 1.200 to 2250, including editing and proofreading.
