I've done this hundreds of times and with all genres, so you can see hundreds of positive reviews from my clients here on my Profile page. Be sure to take a look at the following docs in the Portfolio section here on my profile: 1. My ”Client Results Spreadsheet” (which shows all of my clients from the past 2 years, which services they ordered from me, and the profit that resulted) 2. My ”Client Sales Charts” (screenshots that my clients took of their Amazon sales charts after my marketing) Put simply, my 4-step process is very “turn-key” for my clients, as I do 100% of the work for them, and with each step being optional: STEP #1: I supply you with the Contact List files of your choice (just a few examples below): + 850 Bookstores + 2,730 Libraries + 420 Book Review Blogs + 55 Book Review Podcasts + 180 Book Review Youtubers + 1,000 Health and Wellness Blogs + 1,000 Business Blogs + 420 Mom Blogs + 600 Self-Help / Self-Improvement Blogs + 750 Family Lifestyle Blogs + 250 Children's Book Review Blogs + 375 Mental Health Blogs + And many, many more! STEP #2: I write Custom Outreach Emails to each Contact List for you STEP #3: I send out the thousands of emails for you and I'm able to guarantee a minimum Open Rate of at least 40% STEP #4: The contacts then buy, review, and share your book, so their millions of followers can see it and buy it as well I also offer an incredibly in-depth 40-page Book Marketing Guide that goes through literally every tactic that authors should be doing to market their books, including links of where to do these things, when to do these things, and how best to do them. A bit more about me: I'm also an award-winning author myself with multiple bestseller books - one of which is currently being produced as a feature film.

Your manuscript deserves to be read, trusted, and remembered. I am not here just to edit your manuscript. I am here to make it speak and be heard, not just read. Most authors searching for a book editor aren't just looking for grammar fixes. They need a professional who understands structure, voice, pacing, and clarity, someone who can take a rough or almost-ready manuscript and turn it into a polished, reader-ready draft without losing what makes it theirs. That's exactly what I do. Here is what one of my clients wrote after we worked together on a poetic prose manuscript: "Working with Toyosi has been an incredibly positive and affirming experience from start to finish. She approached the manuscript with a level of attentiveness that immediately stood out — not just technical skill, but a genuine sensitivity to how the writing lives on the page. She understood when to preserve space, when to allow breath, and when a shift in pacing could deepen impact. What sets her apart is her ability to hold both the emotional and structural layers of a piece at once. She doesn't rush to fix. She listens, observes, and then responds in a way that honors what the work is trying to do. I would highly recommend Toyosi to any writer working with emotionally layered, stylistically nuanced, or hybrid forms." Manuscript Editing Services That Cover Every Stage Whether you need developmental editing, copy editing, line editing, beta reading, or proofreading, I provide full editorial support for authors at every stage of the writing process. Developmental Editing Big-picture manuscript editing focused on structure, pacing, transitions, and overall reader experience Copy Editing Sentence-level refinement of word choice, clarity, tone, and flow throughout your manuscript Line Editing Detailed editing of how each sentence reads, connects, and moves the reader forward Beta Reading Early-stage manuscript feedback on plot, structure, character, pacing, and overall reader experience before you move into full editing Proofreading Final-pass correction of grammar, spelling, punctuation, and typos before your manuscript goes out Book Editing for Self-Help, Fiction, Memoir, and Business I specialize in three core manuscript types: Self-Help & Personal Development Books: Self-help manuscript editing requires more than clarity. Your framework needs to be logical, your advice actionable, and your tone authoritative without being stiff. I help self-help authors structure their message so readers finish the book feeling guided, not confused. Fiction & Memoir Manuscripts: Story-driven writing depends on voice, pacing, and emotional pull. I work with fiction and memoir authors to sharpen narrative flow, smooth dialogue, cut repetition, and make sure every chapter earns its place. Business Books & Professional Manuscripts: A business book represents your expertise. It needs to be credible, organized, and easy to read. I help business authors present complex ideas with the clarity and professionalism their audience expects. What You Get With Every Editing Project All manuscript editing is delivered in Microsoft Word using Track Changes, giving you full visibility into every revision. You review each change, accept or reject it, and stay in control of your manuscript from start to finish. Your completed manuscript will have: Clear, consistent structure and logical flow from chapter to chapter A strong, consistent voice and tone throughout Tight, precise sentences that are easy to read and hard to put down Correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, and formatting on every page A professional, polished final draft ready for publishing, submitting, or querying Ready to Work With a Professional Book Editor? If you're searching for a book editor, manuscript editor, copy editor, proofreader, beta reader, or developmental editor who delivers clean, thorough, professional results, send me a message. Tell me about your manuscript, where you are in the process, and what you need. Let's get your book where it needs to be.
