Reedsy had been perfect tool for me

Reedsy had been perfect tool for me. With my debut novel, Altar Shadow: Whispers of Valour and Deceit being more than 100k words, it was hard to structure them. It did made it easier. There were even all three formats, that too with beautiful fonts. You can add images . However there is a bit of complications if you wish to add sneak peak to sequel or just a Playlist; it will take into as a chapter. Apart from that everything is perfect. It makes your pocket happy, and about adding other things( maps) you can just move to other websites or just combining pdfs.

The writing app is really useful

The writing app is really useful - you can store loads of notes in there in different categories, such as characters, theme and plot. And the free courses are really great. Also the team respond very quickly and it is nice to have real people answering. I definitely recommend.

Reedsy is the best

Reedsy is the best. I came across the platform while searching the internet trying to find the best way to write my book. I never thought writing and publishing a book can be so easy until I came across Reedsy. Now I'm on my fifth book within a short period of time. The platform is quite easy to use, and works seamlessly across my devices (laptop and mobile phone) which makes it easy to continue writing even when I'm not on laptop.

Avoid scammers. Deal with professionals with proven track records.

For most of 2026, I've been plagued by scammers who've offered to help me market my book after using AI to produce a flattering summary of it to get my attention. What a relief and pleasure to discover Reedsy, a clearinghouse of a wide variety of vetted marketing specialists that uses a straightforward process to match them with people like me who need their services. So far, I've contracted separately through Reedsy with two of those professionals and I've not been disappointed. A+ for reliability.

I have been writing on Reedsy for many years. It is easy to use and the email support I receive when I run into a snag is always helpful and prompt. In the beginning of my author journey I joined their courses and learnt so much from the lessons and YouTube videos they have available. One of the best platforms for self-publishing authors.
I have been asked many times who professionally typesets my books and my answer is always Reedsy — the output is clean, professional, and print-ready every time. I am so happy with the platform that I would not consider going elsewhere. I am now looking into using one of their editors through the Marketplace as a next step. Wonderful app.

An Outstanding Experience for a First-Time Author ⭐

Reedsy proved to be an invaluable platform for finding the right editor for my memoir. Having everything in one place made the process organized, efficient, and far less intimidating—an especially important advantage for first-time authors navigating the publishing process. I would confidently recommend Reedsy to any first-time author looking for a trusted, professional platform to guide them from manuscript to publication.

The best one-stop platform for self-publishing

Reedsy is a great one-stop platform for writing and publishing your own book - be it a biography, novel, historical text, user's guide or anything else. It has clean, easy-to-use tools for writing and formatting your text - at home or on the go. The marketplace is also a fantastic place to find and work easily with highly skilled professionals to help you with all aspects of your book - proofreaders, indexers, cover design, marketing and more. I've now published a non-fiction book and a biography using Reedsy - and I'm already thinking about my next prohect!

Reedsy for Newcomers to Publishing/Editing

The site was extremly easy and organized to navigate. It paired me up with an editor and a book designer that worked perfectly with what I wanted and what I hoped to achieve. Being new to publishing and editing, Reedsy made the entire process very simple and easy.

I have been using reedsy for a year now and I can say it is best writing app I have ever use. It is user friendly and easy to understand. It will bring your work professionally. What I only want reedsy to add to their feature is some free review session and a market place where our book will be distributed by reedsy and an author can feel totally at home without breaching to another place.
I will always recommend Reedsy to every Author.♥️♥️

I had an excellent experience using Reedsy to find a proofreader for my nonfiction manuscript. The platform made it easy to connect with qualified professionals, and I found Janet, who was outstanding to work with.

She was thorough and detail-oriented, and she completed the work on time. Beyond proofreading, she offered thoughtful suggestions that improved the clarity and flow of my manuscript while respecting my voice as the author. Her professionalism and expertise gave me great confidence as I prepared my book for publication.

I would gladly use Reedsy again and highly recommend it to any author looking for experienced publishing professionals.

I've been using Reedsy to write my novel

I've been using Reedsy to write my novel, and so far I've had a great experience. One of my favorite features is how organized it keeps everything in one place. Beyond just writing chapters, it lets you build out your characters, create your story world, and maintain a book bible, which has been incredibly helpful for keeping track of details as my story grows.

I also love that you can add images to your chapters and notes. Being able to keep visual inspiration alongside my writing helps me stay immersed in the story and makes it easier to maintain consistency with my characters and settings.

Overall, Reedsy has been a fantastic tool for planning and drafting my book. If you're looking for a writing platform that helps you stay organized while developing a novel, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try.
