Rev. Geary Reid, a Guyanese minister, author, and founder of Reid's Learning Institute and Business Consultancy, has self-published over 100 books in five years and will speak in London at the Iconic British Business Awards UK 2026 on 25 June.
Who is Geary Reid and what has he achieved?
Geary Reid is a Guyanese minister, educator, and self-published author who has built a catalogue of more than 100 books across five years, earning international recognition including the CTODAY Global Achiever Award 2025 for Most Inspirational Author of the Year.
Holding qualifications in business administration, accounting, project management, and occupational health and safety (MBA, FCCA, MPM, FAAPM, NEBOSH), Reid operates across four writing categories: academic and professional development, Christian and religious thought, general knowledge and motivation, and family life. His work is distributed through his own platform, Reid n' Learn, and via Amazon. In 2022, he received a Global Author Award, one of several international honours that have preceded his growing profile outside Guyana.
As of April 2026, Reid's titles span practical leadership, financial management, parenting, faith, and horticulture, a breadth that reflects his stated aim of writing books that address real problems in real communities rather than occupying a single niche.
What books has Geary Reid published and won awards for?
Reid's most decorated recent titles include Becoming a Chief Executive Officer (2026), which received an Honourable Mention for Business Leadership at The BookFest® Awards, Spring 2026, and Believers Are Called to Be Different, which received an Honourable Mention in the Spirituality category at the same awards cycle.
Parenting: Not An Easy Job is an earlier award-winning title. His 2026 catalogue also includes CEO in Action, focused on strategic planning and leadership challenges, and A Productive Garden, a practical guide to growing and harvesting. A forthcoming title, Exposing Bribery and Corruption in High Offices, signals a shift toward public accountability themes.
Selected titles from his broader catalogue include:
- Restructuring an Organization
- Financial Management for Organizations
- Training Sons to Become Responsible Fathers
- Standing Up Against Domestic Violence
- Going Hard After God
- Accelerated Learning Techniques for Students
The range is deliberate. Reid has said consistently that professional growth and personal development are inseparable, and his titles treat them that way.
Why is Geary Reid heading to London in June 2026?
Geary Reid will attend the Iconic British Business Awards UK 2026 as both a keynote speaker and award nominee, on 25 and 26 June at the Copthorne Tara Hotel London. The event brings together entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, and business leaders from across the world for two days of networking and strategy sessions.
His invitation is particularly significant for the Guyanese and wider Caribbean business community based in the United Kingdom. Organisers are hosting a dedicated meet-and-greet with Reid during the event, creating a direct connection point for diaspora professionals and Caribbean entrepreneurs seeking international exposure and partnership.
Reid's appearance comes at a moment when Caribbean self-published authors are gaining visibility beyond their home markets. According to data compiled by Bowker, the number of self-published books in the United States alone soared 38.7 percent in 2025 to more than 3.5 million titles, reflecting a global shift toward independent publishing. The Alliance of Independent Authors' 2025 income survey found that fewer than 50 percent of authors under 45 now prefer traditional publishing, with self-publishing becoming the first choice for a majority of working writers. Reid represents exactly that model, combining creative independence with institutional credibility. Publishers WeeklyAllianceindependentauthors
What does Geary Reid's output mean for Guyanese publishing?
Reid's catalogue is unusual by any standard, but within the Caribbean context it is exceptional. Self-publishing in the Caribbean has evolved from a last resort into what one regional publishing house describes as a vibrant, empowering avenue, with independent authors increasingly building international audiences from within the region rather than from the diaspora. Reid has done this without relocating. His institute, his distribution platform, and his community remain rooted in Guyana. Emmanuel PH
The London appearance in June is the clearest signal yet that his model is producing international traction. Whether it translates into wider distribution partnerships or simply deepens connections within the UK's Caribbean business community, his presence at the awards marks a significant moment for Guyanese authorship on a global stage.
Reid's books are available at reidnlearn.com and through his Amazon author page. The Iconic British Business Awards UK 2026 takes place on 25 and 26 June 2026 at the Copthorne Tara Hotel, London.
