Review Reedsy?

Reedsy earns strong praise for its clean, distraction‑free writing studio, effortless book formatting (print and EPUB), and clear project organization with goals, versioning, and shareable links. Authors highlight the vetted marketplace for editors, designers, and marketers, citing smooth discovery, transparent messaging, and secure payments that make collaboration feel professional and human. Support, free courses, and guides are frequently lauded. A minority flags disputes and slow responses in conflict resolution. Overall, users say Reedsy accelerates drafts to publish‑ready files and reliably connects them with trusted publishing pros.

Reedsy is probably one of the best platforms I’ve ever used for writing books. It’s clean, simple, and beautifully designed, which makes the actual writing process feel lighter and more focused. The Studio editor removes unnecessary friction and lets you concentrate on structure, ideas, and storytelling instead of formatting headaches.

vs Alternatives

I chose Reedsy for its simplicity, quality, and focus on writers. The Studio editor is intuitive and well-designed, and the marketplace gives direct access to experienced editors, designers, and marketers, which removes a lot of friction from the publishing process.

I've been using Reedsy for a while now to write a book about my memoirs in my profession. It's not necessarily intended to be a published book, but I found this site so easy to use that it makes me want to write more. It's easy to use, intuitive. I like that you can structure the book however you want and can easily go back from one chapter to another for completions. Lots of useful tools. Overall very good experience.

Reedsy made this collaboration not just possible, but effortless. Discovery was frictionless—I found exactly the right professional for my project—and the platform’s messaging, file sharing, and milestone tools kept everything clear, fast, and on-track. Deadlines were visible, drafts were easy to exchange, and payments were simple and secure. It felt like having a smart production office wrapped around my book. Working with Zeynep through Reedsy was a model of efficiency and craft. The shared workspace let us iterate cleanly on the query, synopsis, and excerpt, while keeping every edit, comment, and decision in one tidy thread. For a first step beyond self-publishing, that structure—and Reedsy’s reliability—was priceless. If you want world-class talent with a platform that actually supports the work, use Reedsy. It lets the professional focus on elevating your book—and lets you focus on writing.
