Writer Spotlight: Reedsy.com
Crafting beautiful books is at the heart of everything that Reedsy does.
Reedsy was founded in the summer of 2014 by Emmanuel Nataf, Ricardo Fayet, Vincent Durand and Matt Cobb. Since then, they’re proud to have built a network of world-class publishing professionals and helped produce over 10,000 books. They offer resources for writers at every stage of their journey:
Ideas: On their blog, they offer weekly prompt ideas as well as a Short Story Competition that takes place every Friday. There is no cost to sign up, but you could win $50 if your story is chosen! Plus, subscribe to their prompts to get story ideas right to your inbox.
Writing: If you’re looking for a free, high-quality writing program, give their Book Editor a try. The editor is free to all members (membership is also free!) and once your book is ready, it will even help with .epub and .mobi typesetting.
Editing: If you need an editor, a writing coach, a cover designer, or anything else related to your project, peruse Reedy’s marketplace. They can help you find top-notch professionals for any budget.
Publication: Whether you’d decide to go the Traditional publishing or Self publishing route, Reedsy’s blog has resources available. If you’re new to Self publishing, take their Free 10-Day Publishing course to learn everything you need to know!
Launch: Once your book is ready for the world to see, you can launch it on Reedsy Discovery. They’ll connect you with professional book reviewers and help your book reach new audiences.
