Reedsy Verified Customer Reviews (2026)

I highly recommend Reedsy. I had a great experience and I look forward to using their services again.

Everything was approachable and accessible. It was a very easy working experience. I am new to publishing and was able to come up to speed very quickly. The freelancers were also very helpful in providing direction.

N/A - I did not have any problems of cons with Reedsy or their people.

I was anxious, having no clear understanding what to expect from book editing. the whole process was seamless and enjoyable.

Reedsy, as a platform, was easy to use. I found it easy to navigate and easy to select an editor that fit my requirements. I like the fact that I could communicate with potential editors to get an understanding how they would work to my benefit.

I can find no fault with Reedsy and I was extremely pleased with the results.

The editor who graciously said he wanted to work with me has been fantastic. His edits have been perfect, he has not overridden "my voice" in any way and has actually spurred me on in a manner that has encouraged me to really buckle down versus writing when the "mood" hit. Nothing short of perfect so far.

I was guided to Reedsy by a dear friend, a published author of 4 books. I had spoken with her about a memoir I was working on before I got too old to do so and she recommended this site. The information available, the ease of navigation especially for an old lady, was invaluable. I received, quickly, responses from those I submitted a bit of my work to in order to gauge whether it was even worth my time to attempt this whole endeavor. I was NOT disappointed and received response from all in short order. When the on editor agreed to work with me, I could not be more pleased at how the collaboration has gone to date.

There was NOTHING to dislike! I received very quick responses from all I submitted samples of my writing with hope that someone would be interested. Not a single con can I cite!

As a first-time author, I found Reedsy very easy to use and was impressed by the quality of professionals available.

As a first-time children's author, I found Reedsy to be an excellent platform for connecting with experienced publishing professionals. The site was easy to navigate, the editor profiles were detailed and informative, and the communication process was straightforward throughout.

I was able to find an editor whose expertise matched my project, and the feedback I received has been invaluable in helping me better understand picture book writing, story development and the publishing process. Overall, Reedsy gave me confidence to take the next step with my writing and I would happily recommend it to other aspiring authors.

More transparency around typical pricing. It would be useful to see indicative price ranges for common editing services before submitting requests, particularly for shorter picture book manuscripts. A side-by-side comparison tool showing service scope, turnaround times and pricing could help authors make informed decisions between professionals.

When you're tired of all those promises to make you a Best Seller in short order. Rachel North on Reedsy is the answer.

Any new aspiring author soon learns that entering the world of independent publishing can be a daunting experience!! The marketing landscape is particularly challenging, and there seems to be no shortage of companies on social media promising us instant success, bestseller status, and extraordinary sales figures ,provided, of course, that we purchase one of their expensive packages.

Well thankfully I've found that Rachel North on Reedsy is a refreshing departure from that world!!

What distinguishes Rachel is her ability to look beyond the immediate sale of a marketing service and understand my individual circumstances, objectives, challenges, and financial limitations. It quickly became apparent she doesn't believe in the "one-size-fits-all" marketing packages. Instead, she developed a carefully considered strategy tailored to my particular book and me as the author behind it.

I was especially impressed by her understanding that marketing budgets, particularly for new authors, must be treated responsibly. She believes every expenditure should have a purpose, results should be monitored, and strategies should be reassessed when circumstances warrant it. Authors soon learn there is a considerable difference between simply spending money on advertising and understanding how to invest it intelligently!!

Rachel brings an impressive depth of knowledge to the business of book marketing, particularly when it comes to Amazon, advertising strategies, reader acquisition, and the realities of building an author's presence in a highly competitive marketplace.

But for me, knowledge alone isn't enough. Trust matters enormously when someone else is helping manage my investment, and Rachel has demonstrated the integrity, candour, and professionalism that gives me confidence in her advice.

If you're looking for someone who makes grandiose or extravagant promises, Rachel is definitely not for you. I found she understood the dreams for my series and she offered informed guidance, realistic expectations, and a thoughtful plan.

For an emerging author, in a world where so many are willing to exploit our dreams with unrealistic promises, integrity is worth a great deal. With that in mind, I have absolutely no hesitation recommending Rachel North to anyone looking for knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely author-focused marketing assistance.

Honestly have nothing negative to report while working with Rachel

I highly recommend using Reedsy for any publication you're working on. I used the editorial services on my manuscript and found them extremely helpful, professional, and affordable.

A wide variety of professional editors to fit any genre of book. It was also nice to have a range of prices to choose from to fit my project.

I didn't find anything negative about using Reedsy. It seems to be filled with serious professionals.

Fantastic. The writing community, competitions and being able yo get editors, writers, writing related resources all in one place is great.

Loved the range and accessibility of the site. I also appreciated the encouragement from the editor and the overall site layout, price range for work.

There was nothing that I did not like but I would like yo see more inclusion of editing for Caribbean writers dialects etc.

Everything went very smoothly, from first contact to final commitment. I was impressed with the quick responses that I received from both professionals that I worked with. I also enjoyed the learning courses that were offered. Reedsy is very generous with free advice.

I had a great experience with Reedsy. I was able to connect with both an editor and an illustrator, who will be helping me with my first children's book. They have both been easy to communicate with, encouraging with their suggestions, and thoughtful with their guidance. I will definitely look to Reedsy again with future projects.

I would have liked to see a few more professional options for marketing and publishing.

Excellent! My first two projects, a book cover and a logo, were easy, quick and satisfying. We have more projects ahead for Reedsy!

I loved how easy it was to use and how streamlined everything was. I especially liked the prompts for sending declines; that process was not awkward or clunky.

The only concern I had was that the bids were pretty wide-ranging and I ended up spending considerably more on a book cover than the one who recommended Reedsy.

Overall, I think Reedsy is the best place to find what you're looking for because of how much they offer in their marketplace. It's the perfect site to begin your journey as an author!

Reedsy is an easy to start website for authors like me who are dedicated to revising their craft and are looking for professionals who can help do that. The website is filled with so many different people and features to best suit my needs, and within the first day of making an account, I found the exact service and person I was looking for. I was able to get a quote and detailed information about the services I'd be receiving, and throughout the entire process of working with my editor I felt assured. Another pro is how secure the payment and billing is.

I found every aspect of Reedsy to be likeable, and I have no negative or constructive things to add about the site.

At Reedsy, I found a quality cover illustrator, and at a price I could afford. It's made a huge difference for my final project!

I got to have Reedsy Illustrators bid for my job, which gave me artistic control over the direction of my project. I also got to break my payments up in flexible ways. That really helped me financially.

There was nothing I didn't like with the service. If something could be improved, I suppose the website's navigation could be clearer.
