This is great software for writing, and especially if you are planning on uploading and formatting a book on your own, which can be confusing if you don't have the right software. I've had to deal with customer service a few times and they have always come through and it's a human answering your questions, which I appreciate. I would highly recommend this software. Thank you for a good experience.

I am 82 years old and have been I the Tech field for over 50 years, I am writing a book about my life and tried Atticus.io. My original writings are in Word, I had a difficult time getting the hang of Atticus.io. There was nothing wrong with the program just my ability to conform to the rules of the program. Old dog's new tricks.

Atticus is awesome. As with any software there's a bit of a learning curve but between the online tutorials and faqs and the rapid response support team it's a quick and relatively painless process. What it does is convert your properly formatted docx file into a slickly formatted ready-to-publish book file. The most important formanting issue is to make sure you have a page break at the end of each chapter and your chapter headings are "Heading 1" in Word. With that simple prep your file will be good to go in Atticus. Import your file and choose from several existing style templates or, with a little extra effort, create your own custom style template. Once you learn all the little adjustments you can make, you'll be able to format your books quickly and easily and whip out custom templates if you want. Once formattted, you can export the file in several specific formats to submit to every major online publisher. It took me exactly two weeks to master the program, taking my Word file to Amazon as a paperback, hardcover and kindle. All three passed Amazon's muster the first time without requiring changes - a first for me. I also figured out how easy it is to create my own custom templates, which I'll utilize when I publish my next book. If you're having the kind of nightmare problems I had with my earlier books, having to deal with constant hiccups in the transition from Word files to online publishing, give Atticus a try. Be a little patient as you learn the app. If you can't figure something out via the tutorials just contact support. I did so maybe half-a-dozen times and they were quick to reply, getting me on track with little delay. The price of the program is well worth the time you'll save and the hassles you'll avoid as you make books that look like they were published by a legit publisher.

I got to try Atticus and it worked like a charm! And I had a great experience when contacting their support team. They answered my question quickly, within minutes, and by a real human! who was very friendly. Thanks a lot for your great service and support. Will recommend it to my friends.

Fast, reliable feedback on all questions asked. There is always a work-around for snags in the program. Every book is different and every page of every book is different. If you can't do something that you want to do, just ask and they will gladly help you out.

I have been with Atticus for a while now and have published three books using their software. I have found the platform to be really user-friendly and flexible. It took a short time to get used to it, but my hand was held all the way with such great customer service. Any issues I had were dealt with quickly and efficiently, in a helpful way. I never had to wait more than six to eight hours for a response, and I am in the United Kingdom time zone! Atticus is my new writing buddy, and it turns my work into sensational-looking books!
