Anyone here use the Reedsy Editor for formatting books? What does the final result look like?

Thanks for the feedback!! I'll maybe give it a try. Rowan, it's good to know the customization options are limited too :)

M.L. | 1129 comments I watched the tutorial. It looks like they have two styles to choose from, Classic and Modern. (If that's not right, please let me know!)
Which did you use?

Rachel Carrington (rcarrington) | 1 comments I'm a member of Reedsy, but I can't figure out how to use the editor because my dashboard always takes me to the "hire a professional" portion of the site. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

I haven't tried to use the Editor yet, but the upsell is not very promising :(

M.J.
Where does the Reedsy Editor store the book document? On your computer or in the cloud?

A good question for the security minded.

Jeff Walker (jetplague) | 33 comments I caved and bought the Pro Writing Aid editor.... It's pretty good, though kinda hard to understand at times. It gets conflicting in some of the words.

M.J. Fleming (mjflemingbooks) | 26 comments I did end up checking, the company is based in England, information is stored on servers. They follow the EEA rules and require affiliates outside the country to do the same or equivalent. I just copied from their privacy page. Hope that helps if ppl want to check them out ...

Allyssa Smith | 47 comments I use and like Reedsy.

Cam Lang (camlang) | 8 comments I would recommend Autocrit. It's the same price ($30/mo.) as most of the other editing software but with a lot more features, analysis, and depth.


message 16: by Peter (new)

Peter (pdinuk) | 77 comments I've enjoyed using ProwritingAid. I like the fact that you can choose US or UK English and the range of features you can use separately. I tend not to use the 'real time' feature, which tries to do too much all at once, but instead use specific 'critiques' of my writing, one at a time.
