you didn't talk about back matter

Min 1:26 I just bought atticus, My book is in spanish, I don't want says Chapter, I want CAPITULO, how do I change that?

Derek Doepker is the man!

It seems that Atticus doesn’t import tables from a word doc. Is there a way around this?

How do you add roman numerals?

Thank you! Excellent!

I FINALLY get to watch as a USER and not just a wishful spectator!

I JUST got Atticus!!!! Looking forward to working with it!

I need to go to the back cover of the book. How do I access that from Atticus?

Writing for voice is different than writing for books; shorter sentences, different dialog structure, sometimes different words.

Thank you for this info and for such a clear explanation!

Please for the love of god chapter your youtube tutorials

Good afternoon Monique! Just finished your webinar out in California on 8/17, AWESOME, and with my microphone not working and could not get to this question and missed your email address. Quick question to see if I can get to you through this format. I AM an ATTICUS new use of a few months, LOVE IT, and yet now struggling with my images. My quick question is do you personally use double page bleeds to start ALL of your chapters, or only a select few. I am finishing my real life adventure book pedaling UP the Mississippi and the idea of photos, stock images, clipart, images behind the text of a chapter page is SO COMPELLING and gorgeous from what you have shown us. How often should one use? Once you start should you do for every chapter or pick and choose? Thank you!

Hey, so uh, I accidentally copied my book and then deleted the old version in Atticus. Is there a way to restore the more recent version?

Thanks for this info. I have a long blockquote in my Atticus ebook, formatted with a single blank line between each paragraph because it's meant to be a letter. I also have text messages separated by a single blank line from the body text. Are you saying this is problematic?

Thank you for this. I didn't know it was an issue, honestly. But fair enough, I'll add it to my list of touchups :)

Thanks. This is so important to know.. I've been trying to fix a Kindle format to no success as they drop my blank lines to squeeze an ending chapter quote so it doesn't start a new page. Now I know it is not my formatting but the Kindle program that is doing it.

will this software substitute Words? especially for Arabic books? or will I get lost?

Quick question: Do I need to brin charts in as images, or can Atticus read and import simple charts from Word automatically?

These tutorials are so very helpful and most appreciated.

My name is Atticus LOL

Can you make a video concerning how to use Night Cafe AI to design a cover for a book I write in Atticus? I am new at all of this but I like giving AI words describing what I want and watch what Ai comes up with! Fun!

Thank you for teaching me something new, that I need to know!

So how do you get the scene break feature to work? When viewing my document in Atticus, the '***' shows up on the left hand margin as that. It is not centered in the page. When I try using one of the other scene break images, they are not reflected in the previewer. The '***' stays left justified.

So how do you get scene breaks '***' to center on the page in Atticus?

Missed it…

I don't know, this looks a lot like Word with Macros. So much for AI. This is a lot of work.

I would love a combo video for atticus and publisher rocket formatting... I have and love both and would love to get the most of them. I write dark romantasy.

Thanks for this video. Is there a way to create a page with two columns of text instead of just one? If not, please consider adding this feature as it would be most helpful. Thank you.

Not really, as soon as you add an hyperlink it changes the size of the image or icon. Atticus never provided me with a fix, all they said is that is was a side-loading issue because the book was not uploaded to a distributor... This is not user centric, it affects every Atticus Clients. That is a BIG problem. This means you can't have a PDF and a ePub that as the same size of images or icon and won't be able to sell your book on your own platform. You'll have to go though a distributor, or so they say...I'm not even sure that will fix the issue... You'll have to resize every single image or icon in both format, twice the work. Nothing like they say in the sales adds (Ready to print on both format). This sounds like an excuse for not testing extensively themselves the problem and solving it. They had me do all their testing back and forth, debugging the problem for them. This should have been tested in the primary steps before putting the app on the market. It's a simple question of elements and formats and exports...

Thanks, Monique. This is perfect timing! I'm going to do an audio version of my book, "To Rescue a Witch". I plan to do all the female characters and hire an actor for the male roles. I used to be an actress, but I've never done voice over work, so I'm glad your guest will cover all the basics. Looking forward to the class!

If I can't stay the entire time (working with clients) will I get a replay link? Thanks

I have books on Amazon and on Audible. I sell 4 or 5 times more audio books than paperback and ebooks combined

Thanks for the vid. Audiobooks for many reasons are a huge thing for books. I use Atticus, am a narrator, and I have published without audiobooks or the ability to narrate at the time, and I still use my original narrator because we dual narrate. I've got all sides of the spectrum. No matter how it is done, it's expensive, whether it be in dollars and/or time. AI audiobooks are not liked very well and can hurt your ratings, not to mention taking jobs from humans. Be careful what you advise in the future. A guest is great, but I'm just saying be careful.

What's a good image height to length ratio for the title image for an ebook? The publisher name is getting stuck over the subtitle if I use the generic, auto generated title page, in the ipad version of the preview.

Thanks, Monique. I can't wait to finish my book and format it on Atticus.

Video di grande interesse e aiuto. Per favore, potreste dirmi come posso cambiare l'indicazione del capitolo dall'inglese Chapter One a Capitolo Uno o Capitolo 1 in italiano? Grazie

The Contents doesn't include my front matter (dedication, epigraph)..? Also it starts page numbering from the title page. How do I correct it?

is there a tutorial for Google docs formatting??

Thank you for this highly informative video. After checking out Publisher Rocket, I may have to redo the keywords and categories I've used for my first Cozy Mystery --Bad Blood in the Bayou-Framed. Thanks again. Looking forward to the next video. I do love Atticus.

Is there a way you can make the drop down cap a separate font from the rest of the body?

Great work! Excited to use it and for what else you add to it. I second adding bible columns!

It would be awesome to interface with Novelcrafter.. so we can write and export directly to Atticus..

How can I left align a front matter page, but keep indenting new paragraphs in the body chapters?
