> "Manning do a lot of promotion" - "does"
I'm going to nitpick. The original sentence is grammatically correct in the UK and some other non-U.S. English speaking parts. I know this may sound very weird, but it's all fine and correct somewhere else, treating companies and establishments as plural.

Yeah I was trying to figure out what to do with that one. In the end I “corrected” it as suggested but could have gone either way depending whether Manning is a singular company or a plural collection of people.

Thanks fixed. This is why I need editors :-)
"if you ever what to write a book," - "want"
"I needed to tke care of including images" - "take"
"in an attempt to illicit feedback" - "elicit"
"likely won't actually be approved until early 2010, " - "2020" (probably)
"copy-editing to correct grammar, and spelling," - "grammar and spelling"
"Manning do a lot of promotion" - "does"
"a random random tip of this list isshown" - "random", "is shown"
"it's shocking amount" - "a shocking"
