One of the things that this post highlights is the difficulty of getting others to do things to help you whether copyediting, technical editing, contributions, or (in particular) co-authoring.
It's understandable. People are busy and way more open to helping out in principle than in practice.
But getting reviewers is really tough and usually takes a lot of nagging. And, unless the publisher is covering it for you, figure on paying a copy-editor; it's unlikely someone reading the manuscript over as a favor will be thorough (and skilled) enough.
