While no doubt I'm uninformed, my sense is professional development at the one-to-one or one-to-few level is geared towards exec levels, such as exec coaching and management training. For my part, I'm not exec level yet am in a position to use either disposable income or company money on coaching for skills such as writing. My first thought too was looking for journalists/editors/local university lecturers who may be looking for some extra work. I'd guess that'd require trial and error for both parties.

No I think that's quite accurate. When I've had e.g. presentation skills training at work, it's been a (small) group thing. Though I could probably get 1:1 professional coaching for things if I asked for it as part of professional development. My first choice would probably be to try to find an editor who does or would do this sort of thing as a side-gig. Maybe you have co-workers who have worked with one of the tech publishers like O'Reilly or Apress in the past who could do an introduction?
