Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

Cons

  • Honestly have nothing negative to report while working with Rachel
  • I didn't find anything negative about using Reedsy. It seems to be filled with serious professionals.
  • I can find no fault with Reedsy and I was extremely pleased with the results.
  • 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.
  • N/A - I did not have any problems of cons with Reedsy or their people.
