It's critical to get feedback on your book and sometimes it's worth it to pay for it. Let's compare Reedsy and Fiverr as popular marketplace platforms for finding professionals to help you out.

I'm Nicole Wilbur, an author, traveller, and adrenaline-chaser. I write about young adults breaking the rules, falling in love, and becoming versions of themselves they never expected. Pursuing traditional publishing and sharing the highs & lows!
