About Jon Reed
I am Jon Reed, the founder of Reed Media. I have spent 30 years in publishing: 10 years in academic publishing followed by 20 years running Reed Media. In that time I have witnessed – and helped shape – the digital transformation of our industry.
I have worked in digital media since its earliest days, and have helped many authors, publishers, and businesses use it effectively. I am a published author myself, and wrote Get Up to Speed with Online Marketing for Pearson Business. In 2007 I founded Publishing Talk, an educational website for new and emerging authors.
I am also an experienced speaker. I taught on the MA in Digital Media Management at Birkbeck for 12 years, and have guest lectured on numerous publishing, writing, and digital media courses. I have also run in-house training courses, spoken at conferences, chaired panels at The London Book Fair, run Guardian Masterclasses, and programmed and run my own writers’ conference on ‘How to Get Published’.
My academic background is in psychology, which I maintain an interest in. I am currently working on a self-help book for authors, about how to overcome psychological blocks to writing. That includes things like perfectionism, procrastination, and impostor syndrome.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading, walking, and learning languages. I am currently brushing up my Swedish, and tackling Scottish Gaelic!
