Reedsy is a curated marketplace and publishing platform founded in 2014 by Emmanuel Nataf, Ricardo Fayet, Vincent Durand, and Matt Cobb. Its core purpose is to connect independent authors with vetted professional editors, designers, and marketers - giving self-publishing writers access to the kind of resources traditionally available only within major publishing houses. The company has since grown to serve over five million authors worldwide and has been recognised by the European Union's Horizon 2020 programme.
The company operates across several interconnected products:
- Reedsy Marketplace - a curated platform matching authors with freelance publishing professionals across editing, design, and marketing
- Reedsy Studio - a collaborative writing application for authors
- Reedsy Learning - a library of free educational courses aimed at authors
- A book discovery platform serving readers alongside the author-facing tools
Reedsy operates as a remote-first company, with team members spread across more than ten countries. Its technical work spans SaaS product development, online marketplace infrastructure, edtech, and book discovery - making it a multi-product organisation at the intersection of publishing, education, and the creator economy.
