It was so easy to upload my manuscript and get it prepared for both print and eBook. After fumbling through layout and sizing and margins with gutters on my own, trying Reedsy Studio was like bring given an easy button.

I love how Reedsy helps me get organized with my chapters for my book and keeps my words saved! I love the layout and that I can share with others to review easily. Also its free so that's awesome too!

Whenever an issue arose in my dialogue with the professionals recommended by Reedsy, the Reedsy team responded immediately, and I always felt their support and efficiency.
While on Goodreads or other platforms you have to be extremely patient before someone responds, and the response is often incomplete or off-topic, the Reedsy team seemed very prompt and well-organized to me. Everything on their website is clear and simple, and the entire system is very well organized and customer-friendly. I will return to them for future projects related to my book!

I've really been enjoying Reedsy for writing my first book. It is very well organized and has many tools to help make your writing experience the easiest and most enjoyable it can be. I really enjoy all the book matter sections on the left hand side when writing. It shows you every part of your book in tabs so you can easily switch back and forth between whichever ones you need. The only thing I think I'd change is the one feature that is only excess able to people who pay for it. It shows you what words and phrases you've used the most and I wish it was free. Of course everything can't be free, but I think that feature would be useful to anyone writing, not just premium members.

Overall, great experience.

Reedsy is a great platform for finding and working with a ghostwriter. Great platform that is easy to use. High quality ghostwriters. I highly recommend

Until I discovered Reedsy, I felt unsure about anything to do with my fiction project. The discovery was a turning point in my writing journey. I feel much more confident after having used Reedsy editorial services to approach literary agents and publishers. If you are looking for a one-stop shop for all your writing needs, go no further. You'll find authentic and top-notch resources here. Their list of professionals is reliable and prompt, besides providing you with choices that most likely would fit your budget. I strongly recommend writers, especially first-time writers to explore Reedsy for specialized and experienced help.

I am so grateful to have found Reedsy! I have always aspired to be an author and began working on my novel over the last year. I began struggling with motivation to complete my work because I didn’t have the right format. Now that I have found Reedsy I am effortlessly working on my novel everyday! I love being able to move through my chapters, save notes on characters and see my word count grow. It’s been a game changer in my craft. I even uploaded my books cover photo! Reedsy is helping me to make real strides towards telling my story and publishing.

Andy Ross took my money (outside of Reedsy) but didn't do the job, in my opinion. My Simon & Schuster editor's advice proves Ross didn't do much and missed a critical issue - the book was simply misclassified - it wasn't in the PI genre but was a legal investigative thriller and merely needed a courtroom ending, among some minor things. Tell Andy Ross to return my money, or since YOU introduced me, Reedsy, perhaps you should refund me. After the book is published and the money comes in, I will hire an attorney to handle this issue. To the people who read this, I would not use them. To Reesy: I have photographed this message with a time/date stamp, so don't tamper with it.

I’ve had a very positive experience using Reedsy while preparing my professional handbook for publication. The platform made it straightforward to connect with experienced publishing professionals, and communication and project management were clear and well structured.

The quality of the editorial work delivered was excellent, and the process felt professional and reliable throughout. I would recommend Reedsy to authors seeking access to skilled specialists across the publishing workflow.

Reedsy.com has such a great assortment of talent from around the world.

The entire process was very straightforward. As a first time consumer, this was extremely comforting! The illustrator for my project took time, care, and patience to ensure the best possible outcome! I have received so many incredible compliments on my book, How Moxley Found His Roar.

Great features. Provides and all in one place to write and keep notes. Easy to use and fun.

everything on Reedsy is east to use and clear to the eye. my favorite feature is definitely the goals on the top right corner. it really help me stay on track and keep my goals in check. it also tells you how many words you need to write in a day to complete by your due date. this website is amazing for beginners (like me) and more advanced writers (not like me). i am confident that Reedsy will help you write your book in a timely and organized fashion.

I love Reedsy! I'm currently writing a book with my friends and it works so well and I can have everything in one place. The only flaw is the chapter titles, I wish I could change that.

Reedsy was an incredible help in writing and rebuilding my book . The platform made organizing chapters, fixing formatting , and correcting mistakes much easier than I expected . Even during stressful moments, Reedsy’s tools helped me stay focused on my writing instead of fighting with layout issues . It gave me confidence , clarity , and a clean professional manuscript. I truly appreciate how user friendly and supportive Reedsy was throughout the process .

The editor was professional and gave me insightful information to improve my story and provided me with encouraging Feedback. The critique helped me to see what I needed to improve. The Price was a little bit higher, however, I'm thankful I found Reedsy. I'll be using them again to find an editor for my next project.

As a first-time book writer, I know that I have a lot to learn about how the editing and publishing process works. After doing some research online, I found Reedsy, and readily joined (should have looked at some reviews first!). I found two suitable editors, but the one closest to me, which would have made a meeting possible, took some time to answer my reply to his e-mail, while the other one was waiting, reason why I contacted him to see if he was still interested. He was, and I was happy about it, but he seemed to be an incredibly busy man, which worried me. How was someone who is so very busy with his main job, have the time to edit my book? Also, he never reacted to the fact that I mentioned that I live quite close by, which I found strange, whether he would accept meeting or not.

I asked questions about the website, and started to have ever more difficulty obtaining answers, and had problems navigating it, which I didn't find intuitive at all! They did answer the first questions, but then either didn't answer at all, or would take quite a few days. That didn't seem ideal to me. At a certain point in time, I couldn't even send more requests, because two of the editors I had contacted already where still on the list, and there was nothing I could do delete them. Eventually, I started to wonder how they knew if the editors were genuine, and whether they would just be using AI.

I did contact that first editor outside of Reedsy, to make sure that he really existed, but he told me, through Reedsy, that he does not work outside of the platform, meaning, we would never have any contact in person, never a phone call, nothing. I thought that Reedsy was just a platform to put professionals in contact with the writers? And when I found out, through the reviews here, that they take 20% of everything you pay, which means that you pay 20% more, that didn't feel right either. I am now looking for a freelancer, who really wants to work with me. This is a true story about severe Emotional Domestic Abuse, which I think is very important bring out in the open!!! Too many women are suffering and have been for a very long time, but it will rise or fall with a great editor, who, maybe also manages to help me to find a great publisher!

I didn't need all the stress Reedsy created. The sad part is that there are more of these sites (maybe belonging to the same people), and that is not what I am after. But there must be great freelance editors out there????? It is a pity that we can't contact the reviewers here.................. they would be a great source of information! Sadly, the world is not a trustworthy place anymore, and many people are just after a quick buck!

UPDATE: Whether an editor would agree to meet or not, that is indeed their choice, but politely informing me that they wouldn't do it, would be a great thing. As I pointed out, I am new at this, so, dialogue is a very useful thing! Why did I try to find the editor? Simply because I didn't believe anymore that he was a real person. As we know, this day and age, no one knows who is real and not. Reedsy stopped answering my questions, no matter whether I sent them through the chat, or e-mail, no one answered. Then I answered the editor's last message, and got a message back saying that the message wouldn't be delivered. Also, I couldn't send anymore requests, as I explained, either, because he and another one would have received the request too, and it seemed crazy to send a request to someone I was already in contact with. Anyway, there should be a way to choose exactly who one wanted to contact! But no one ever answered that question either! All in all, I wanted to know whether he really was the person on the site, and if not, whether he knew what was going on. I think that this day and age that is the thing to do. It was never meant to work with him outside of the platform, if those were not the rules, in case he was the same person who was on the platform. I actually never thought that after the introduction, one would be tied to the website until the end, and anyone would have access to the manuscript! There was also the matter of an editor I contacted, who, just a few hours later (nighttime here in the UK), declined because I had been unresponsive. I contacted the admins, never heard anything back. That said, my journey continues! By the way, as far as the 10% payable from each person concerned, the writer in fact pays 20%, as it is budged in the price they pay! You just get 20% on the top. But, that is an agreement, so, fair enough!

Very easy very perfect 👍

Worked with an editor on Reedsy for an editorial assessment of my novel, found it a simple, user-friendly process, and received some great, useful feedback in return. No complaints.
