Reedsy was set up in November last year to help independent authors and so far has some 3,000 authors on its books, along with a pool of 300 freelancers.
The site states that it prioritises quality – the majority of its 6,000 applicants for freelance connections were rejected.
Co-founder and CEO Emmanuel Nataf has stated his intent to reform the publishing process, as he considers the process “backwards”, with editors and writers sending documents back and forth by email. His aim is to launch a collaborative editing tool this summer.
