Earlier in the year, we sent out an April Fool's email suggesting that we were turning Reedsy into a dating service for lovelorn authors. From the kind replies we received, it became clear that more than a few of you have a soft spot for romance...

If you're one of the 10% of Reedsians currently writing romance, we've prepared a little surprise: a belated Valentine's gift, you could call it.

Typeset your love story for free, with our new romance export template for the Reedsy Book Editor!

I hope you'll enjoy this new EPUB and print-ready PDF template. The team and I really look forward to seeing the books you create with it. Why not launch the Reedsy Book Editor and export your book to check it out!

But what even is the Reedsy Book Editor? And how do I access it?

Great question! The Reedsy Book Editor is a free, but advanced book production tool. Import your manuscript then typeset it to beautifully formatted print-ready PDF and EPUB files. Liberate your prose from Word and give our typesetting tool a spin.
