View company profile

Reedsy embarked on its journey in the summer of 2014, co-founded by Emmanuel Nataf, Ricardo Fayet, Vincent Durand, and Matt Cobb. Their vision was to revolutionize the publishing landscape by creating a vibrant online marketplace. This platform was conceived to bridge the gap between authors and a global network of top-tier publishing professionals, including editors, designers, marketers, and ghostwriters. The founders recognized a fragmented industry where authors, particularly independent ones, struggled to find reliable, high-quality talent, which was often exclusively accessible to established publishing houses. Reedsy aimed to democratize this access, empowering authors to bring their literary projects to fruition with professional excellence.

From its humble beginnings, Reedsy has blossomed into a significant force within the publishing world. The platform meticulously vets its professionals, ensuring a high standard of quality and reliability. This curated approach has fostered a trusted environment, attracting over a million authors and more than 3,700 freelance professionals to its community. Annually, Reedsy facilitates the creation and market launch of over 15,000 books. Beyond just a marketplace, Reedsy has evolved into a comprehensive ecosystem. It offers a suite of free educational resources, including blog posts, webinars, and writing tools like the Reedsy Book Editor, designed to support authors at every stage of their publishing journey. The company champions remote work, with its own diverse team hailing from over ten countries, reflecting the global nature of its community. Their commitment extends to social impact as well, having initiated campaigns like #IWriteBecause to support child literacy programs. Through continuous innovation and a steadfast focus on quality and community, Reedsy continues to reshape how books are made and discovered.
