Reedsy is a British publishing services company.
History
[edit | edit source]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 the 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
[edit | edit source]The company operates a marketplace of freelancers providing publishing services, such as editing, illustrating, translating, marketing, and ghostwriting.[7][8] Authors use the marketplace to identify freelancers to work with, comparing previous work and rates.[7] Reedsy takes a 10% cut of revenue from both the buyer and seller .[9]
Reedsy Studio (formerly Reedsy Book Editor) launched in 2016, was developed as an online tool for book planning, manuscript development and collaborative editing.[10][11] Reedsy Studio has been criticised for its connectivity issues.[12]
Reedsy Learning is a set of masterclasses on writing.[13]
