SPA Girls Podcast – EP131 – Interview with Ricardo Fayet from Reedsy

This week we talk to Ricardo Fayet, CMO and co-founder of Reedsy, a curated site for matching authors and publishers to industry professionals like editors, designers, marketing professionals, or website designers.

He explains to us how the site works, what kind of services indie authors can find on Reedsy, and how to find the best person to work with you. Reedsy is highly curated – they only accept around 3% of the industry professionals who apply to be listed – so they’re confident in the quality of the service providers on their site. And that’s nice to know when you’re planning to spend your hard-earned money on getting your baby (ie your book) published. 🙂

It’s a fascinating interview – as well as demystifying Reedsy for us, Ricardo also gives some tips for authors that he’s picked up from the many indie conferences he’s attended, and talks about some of the changes in publishing he’s seen since Reedsy first started in 2014.

Reedsy was founded in the summer of 2014 by Emmanuel Nataf, Ricardo Fayet, Vincent Durand and Matt Cobb. Since then, they’ve proudly built a network of world-class publishing professionals and helped produce over 3,000 books.

According to Ricardo, crafting beautiful books is at the heart of everything that Reedsy does. They feel that they are changing the way books are published by giving authors and publishers access to talented professionals, powerful tools, and free educational content.

It’s important to Reedsy that they only work with editors, designers, marketers, and ghostwriters who have experience crafting books that land on the New York Times bestseller list. Maintaining a diverse roster of professionals (based in over 30 countries) ensures that authors from all walks of life can find the right people to help with services are perfectly suited to a genre and budget.
