Reedsy has made the writing process much easier for me. I especially appreciate how simple it is to structure chapters, organize the manuscript and keep a clear overview of the whole book. The interface feels intuitive and lets me focus on the writing instead of the formatting.

My contract didn’t happen on time and after a month they still charged me for the service I didn’t buy. They should have checked first the status, my contractor cancelled the call but they charged me after a month, and they say review time is 14 days. It doesn’t make sense to make people wait for something this simple

Reply from Reedsy

Hi Mehmet,

I'm sorry to hear about the confusion with your project and the charge that followed. We'd like to look into what happened.

The best way for our team to investigate and mediate is for you to file a report on the project. It only takes a few minutes, and it lets us review the timeline, including the cancelled call and when the charge was made, so we can work out the right next step with you and your editor.

We'll look at your case as soon as we can, and I appreciate that waiting isn't what you were hoping for.

Could you please file a report through the project page? Once it's submitted, our team will take it from there.

All the best,
The Reedsy Team

A Marketing Professional Who Actually Understands New Authors

As a first-time author, I quickly discovered that the internet is filled with companies promising aspiring writers the world — especially those offering to make you an “Amazon Best Seller” if you simply pay the right amount of money. After seeing enough of those pitches, I became understandably skeptical about book marketing.

Working with Rachel North changed that perspective completely.

What immediately impressed me was that Rachel took the time to understand my book, my objectives, and, just as importantly, the realities of being a new author with a limited marketing budget. Her approach was never about throwing money at advertising and hoping something sticks. She developed a thoughtful marketing strategy specifically for my situation and continually emphasized that every marketing dollar needs to have a purpose and be monitored carefully.

Rachel also understands something that I think many marketing companies either overlook or simply don't care about: a new author cannot afford to waste money learning expensive lessons.

Her knowledge of Amazon, book marketing, advertising, reader acquisition, reviews, and the challenges faced by independent authors is impressive. But equally important to me is her honesty. She doesn't make ridiculous promises about guaranteed bestseller status or pretend that there is some secret formula that will magically turn an unknown author into a publishing sensation overnight.

Instead, she explains what is realistic, what isn't, what needs to happen first, and where money is, and isn't, worth spending.

I have also found Rachel to be exceptionally trustworthy. She has been willing to question strategies, reassess plans when circumstances change, and put the author's interests ahead of simply generating more billable activity. That is rare in an industry where it is remarkably easy for inexperienced authors to be sold expensive packages they may not need.

If you're a new author trying to navigate the marketing maze, I would strongly recommend speaking with Rachel before spending money elsewhere. Her greatest strength may be that she understands that successful book marketing is a process, not a promise.

For me, that combination of knowledge, individualized planning, financial discipline, and integrity is what sets Rachel apart.

Reedsy made finding an editor easy

Finding an editor can feel overwhelming, and navigating all the ins and outs is not always easy, but Reedsy made the experience simple and reassuring from start to finish. The platform was easy to navigate, and beyond the practical aspects, I felt supported and guided throughout the entire process.

Excellent platform for finding publishing profey

I’m currently working towards publishing my first business book and have used Reedsy to help find professional support through the process.

As a first-time author, one of the hardest parts is knowing who to trust and where to find people with the right experience. Reedsy has made that process much easier. The platform is straightforward to use, the professional profiles and portfolios give you plenty of information before making contact, and being able to approach several professionals and compare their responses is particularly useful.

I used Reedsy to find the proofreader for my manuscript and had a very positive experience. I’ve now returned to the platform to find the designer who will take the book through interior design, illustration and typesetting.

There is still a lot to learn when publishing a book for the first time, but Reedsy has made finding and working with experienced publishing professionals considerably less daunting.

I’d happily recommend it to other first-time independent authors.

Five‑Star Review for Reedsy and Emmanuel Nataf, CEO

I am honored to write this heartfelt review on behalf of Reedsy and its CEO, Emmanuel Nataf. This year, I have had the privilege of using Reedsy’s services twice—first for copy editing, and later for interior book design and cover design for my Adjutant Ministry Orientation and Training Facilitator Guide. I must say that I am deeply pleased with the results and the level of excellence they helped me achieve.

Reedsy has created a platform where gifted, vetted, and highly skilled professionals can offer their expertise to authors who desire quality, clarity, and craftsmanship. I have worked with some of Reedsy’s finest, and each one demonstrated professionalism, depth of knowledge, and a sincere commitment to producing outstanding work.

One of the things I appreciate most is Reedsy’s responsiveness. They correspond promptly, keep the customer informed, and provide helpful guidance throughout the process. Their system makes it easy to identify and select from a curated list of qualified professionals—each with transparent pricing based on experience, background, certifications, and the scope of the work. This level of clarity and support is invaluable, especially for authors navigating the publishing process.

I am grateful for the excellence Reedsy brings to the publishing world. Emmanuel Nataf and his team have built a platform that truly serves authors with integrity, reliability, and care. I highly recommend Reedsy.com to anyone seeking professional services for their book—whether editing, design, coaching, or any other publishing need.

Thank you, Reedsy, for helping me bring this ministry resource to life. I look forward to continuing this partnership as I prepare future works for publication.

I am,
Cicero B. King

All praise to Reedsy

I appreciated the often detailed descriptions of potential editors for my work. Communication throughout my whole experience with Reedsy was excellent, I felt well cared for, and the site is easy for a techy dingbat to navigate. I'm now invited to helpful webinars—a happy surprise. Reedsy offers superior service for writers, and I'm most grateful.

Found the perfect editor for my manuscript

Reedsy made finding a professional editor easy and stress-free. The platform is simple to use, the editor profiles are detailed, and I received quotes quickly. I ended up working with Cynthia Constantino, who did an outstanding job on my manuscript. Payments were secure, communication was smooth, and everything felt professional from start to finish. I highly recommend Reedsy to any author looking for trustworthy publishing professionals.

Services for every stage of the process

Reedsy offers services for every stage of the writing/publishing process. As a new author I have found the templates, resources and opportunity to hire professionals very helpful. The website is well organized and offers free and paid services. There is much more to "writing a book" than just writing the book! Thank you!

The Reedsy community is active all day every single day. I've received loads of help from Masterclass Sessions, Author/Director/Producer tips, building characters, stories, careers in writing that last. This place is a real gem for those hopeful writers seeking a support system. Reedsy keeps churning out Author support, you don't have to ask.

A simple, powerful platform to find top tier creative talent

Reedsy offered a great range of top tier designers when I was looking for someone to design the cover for my self-published story collection. The site made it very easy for me to browse a range of relevant professionals, and to get quotes from them quickly. I love the artist I ended up working with, and by managing all of our interactions through Reedsy I now have a handy archive of our full collaboration. I liked it so much I've now put out a brief for another project as well.

Excellent contractors. Highly recommend.

Reedsy's contractors are excellent, true professionals who go above and beyond to help you. There are so many dodgy contractors out there and you can waste your money on poor quality work and unwillingness to truly collaborate. But with Reedsy you get what you pay for and more. Totally stress free.

I’ve used two different editors on reedsy for developmental edits so far and they have both been extremely communicative, not tried to change my book from what I want it to be and helped me developed it into something I think could really sell. I will continue to use reedsy in my writing journey
