Great tool for books writing/formatting! The possibilities are limited, so it is only for high-content books, fiction or non-fictions, but not really for book that require more creative formatting/layout. You pay once and get all the future updates, no hidden extra fees. And the customer service is amazing: responding and solving my problem on Sunday!

Wonderful customer service!

Atticus has a learning curve, but once learned outpaces any other software. The two books that I published for a family member were written in Atticus, and each one took less time than using less dedicated software. Great time-saver for proofing and final edits. Thanks to the Atticus developers. Diane Hartman

This is an incredibly easy tool... very intuitive and the support is stellar!

I find that I always receive prompt and helpful advice. Some things work, some don't - that's the nature of a new learning experience. But I find that Atticus always keep trying to help you find a solution. And as I become more familiar with how the site works, the process gets easier and easier. Sometimes its convenient to say it's a problem with Atticus, when I find it's more that I haven't bothered to put the time in to grasp how it works. Don't be afraid of a learning curve. It's where a sense of achievment comes from. Certainly, I have found the final product is much more polished and professional-looking than I have found on other do-it-yourself formatting sites.

As with all new software programs, there is a learning curve. With the help of Ruth and David from support, I was able to format my first book. I am very excited to hone my skills with this awesome program, especially knowing I have the full support of the team at Atticus!

Atticus is an easy platform to use, and I absolutely love it! I have only needed Customer Support two times in the past 7 months. When I did, the Support was excellent. I hear back from real human beings who are knowledgeable. And the solutions they provide are specific, clear and comprehensive. Unlike many companies that just want to clear the queue, Atticus Support makes you feel like they truly want to help you solve your problem. They are awesome!

I had never written a book before. What began as a simple idea, a book for my granddaughter, who is now nine years old, about our family history and my memoirs, turned into a far larger journey than I ever expected. Nine months ago, I assumed this would be a straightforward project. I honestly thought I could finish it in a couple of months. I quickly learned how wrong that assumption was. At the beginning, I struggled with the basic tools I thought I knew. Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and Acrobat Reader simply were not designed to handle a long-form book project. Once the manuscript grew past twenty or thirty pages, things became clumsy, frustrating, and inefficient. Formatting issues multiplied, files became unwieldy, and the joy of writing started to slip away. Frustrated, I began searching for dedicated writing software. I tried several of the most popular tools available, but each one came with a steep learning curve or an interface that felt overly complex and unintuitive. Over and over again, Atticus appeared in my searches. Eventually, I decided to give it a try. To my surprise, it met everything I was looking for. Atticus was easy to use from the very beginning. Writing, editing, and formatting felt natural instead of technical. The tutorials were excellent, both on YouTube and built directly into the software. Moving chapters, creating Parts, changing themes, and organizing book sets were all simple and intuitive. Instead of fighting the software, I found myself writing every day and genuinely pleased with what I accomplished. The software itself is excellent, but what truly sets Atticus apart is their support team. Whenever I ran into a problem, usually one I had created myself, help was easy to get. The support request form is embedded right in the software. I would submit a request and almost always receive a response within a day, often sooner, with a clear solution. On one occasion, I accidentally deleted a chapter. Because I had been backing up properly, I sent them the JSON file and within a day the chapter was fully restored. That level of support is rare. Before retiring, I worked as a Software Sales Engineer and dealt with major corporate systems and clients, including PeopleSoft, Honda, and Hilton. Based on that experience, I can honestly say Atticus is better designed, more intuitive, and better supported than many enterprise-level software platforms I worked with during my career. Thank you for making my journey into the writing world such a positive and rewarding experience. This book means more to me than I can easily express, and I know it will leave a lasting impression on my granddaughter.
