Pretty good. It saves a lot of time, makes my books look pro, and there's no awful subscription like Adobe. No wonder Adobe's stock price is crashing. There are a few major problems with Atticus that need fixing though: - There's no Feedback button on the website, so I had to post my thoughts here. Please add a Feedback button. - There's no Referral button. I honestly want to add a referral link to Atticus to my Link Tree (say for 5% off if you use my link), but there's literally no referral link and I literally have no idea why. - If you paste text into Atticus, it fixes most of the formatting apart from the scene breaks. Importing a doc.x will convert the *** into a scene break, but pasting the text won't. And there's no way to just use the Replace All function to replace the *** with a scene break. This is a such a pain. - The massive problem with Atticus is that if your book is written like a serial (for example, Book 1 / Part 1, Chapter + Subtitle), there is no way to format the Contents page for this. You are forced to only use Chapter and Subtitle, so if your book is split into 4 Parts with individual Acts (like mine are) you are screwed. Please fix this massive problem. But overall, definitely pay for the Atticus software if you're a writer who wants professional looking books.

Atticus listens to its customers and does an excellent job with customer service through email. I found some of the tool a little baffling to use at times but received great instructions/help from their customer service, which seems to be available around the clock, 7 days a week. They're also nice and don't get insulted easily. (Sometimes my frustration leaks through to my email questions and they are very polite in response!) The tutorials are well-crafted, as well. I think it's worth the price and have recommended to other authors who want to prepare their own books for self-publishing.

They reached out via Trustpilot I emailed them and problem got fixed. web gremlins exist. === I asked for a refund 2 days after I brought the software and used their website to try to format my .docx into a .epub and it really didn't look the way i wanted to. They promised a no questions asked 30 days money back guarantee. They never provided the refund.

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.

I've transitioned from using a publishing company to using a writing coach, and I've replaced both with Atticus. I have control over formatting through the publishing process. The system isn't perfect, but their customer service is responsive and helps to resolve any issues.

I bought Atticus because it was a one time purchase not a subscription service you pay forever to use. I bought this book formatting software 8/10/2022 and waited until 11/4/2022 to do a review because I wanted to use it awhile first. I gave it 4 starts because they are new and still updating items in their program. Which tells me they listen to their users. When I contacted them with questions and suggestions I got a reply that same day! I never used a software like this before. I love their YouTube instructional videos! They are very easy to understand. Just finished my 1st book using this software and I will continue to use it.
