Reedsy is a British publishing services company.
History
The company was established in 2014 in Shoreditch, London, UK.[1][2] The name was inspired by the reed-like sedge used to create papyrus.[2] It was initially funded by Seedcamp and DC Thomson[3] co-founded by Emmanuel Nataf, who became CEO.[4]
Reedsy received 7,000 applications for its marketplace in its first year.[5] It won the 2015 BookTech Gold Award[6] and the 2016 Quantum Publishing Innovation Award.[7]
Services
The company operates a marketplace of freelancers providing publishing services, such as editing, illustrating, translating, marketing, and ghostwriting.[8] Freelancers undergo background checks by the company to be listed.[7] Authors use the marketplace to identify freelancers to work with, comparing previous work and rates.[7] A parallel marketplace for publishers allows for outsourcing of editorial work.[3] Reedsy takes a 10% cut of profit from both the seller and buyer.[9]
Reedsy Studio (formerly Reedsy Book Editor) was launched in 2016.[10] Reedsy Studio is an online tool for book planning, manuscript development and collaborative editing.[10][11] Companies using the tool include IngramSpark, Kobo Writing Life, and Blurb.[12][13] Reedsy studio is free to use, but has been criticised for its connectivity issues.[14]
Reedsy Learning is a set of free masterclasses on writing.[15]
