Reedsy

Overview

Reedsy is a curated marketplace and suite of tools for authors. It connects independent authors with top-tier freelance editors, designers, and marketers. It also provides free writing software (Reedsy Studio) to format manuscripts and create book covers.

Pricing & Free Tier

Free Tier: Yes. The Reedsy Studio writing and formatting tool is completely free.
Marketplace: You pay freelancers directly for their services. Reedsy takes a 10% commission on transactions.

How to Use

1. Go to reedsy.com and create an author profile.
2. Use the "Marketplace" to search for editors or cover designers by genre.
3. Request quotes and review portfolios.
4. Use Reedsy Studio to write and format your book to EPUB/PDF standards.

Important Notes

• Quality Control: Reedsy vets its freelancers, so quality is generally excellent, but prices are premium (editors often charge $1,000+).
• Ownership: You retain 100% of your book royalties; Reedsy only takes a cut of the freelance service fee.
