Atticus has greatly improved my productivity and work flow. I am on my fourth book. I have Scrivener and Vellum, but Atticus does the whole process. It's not perfect yet, but will be with further updates.
Thank you very much. I appreciate the time you took to make this video. i was thinking about getting Atticus, and with the information from your video and a couple others, I will be buying it and using it for my books. They are written, now I have the software to make it happen, lol!! Sorry for the poor grammar.
Thank you for another great video, this time about Atticus. At the moment of writing, the new revamp of Atticus is out about a week. Despite the fact the software has some shortcomings (like you mentioned in the cons section), it is like you said a very useful tool. The biggest glitch I found about Atticus is how it formats whole paragraphs or multiple lines with Italics. I see the linespace changing for that paragraph or those lines which gives an ugly layout in the reader. I am using Kobo Aura as ereader. I tried everything but I could not find a solution for this problem. Nevertheless, Atticus is an excellent application, and I am very glad you reviewed it. I am looking forward to your next video. Keep up the good work! Kind Regards, Chris
So how do you get the scene breaks to work? I tried typing '***' at the beginning of a line, but all Atticus displayed in the previewer was '***' at the beginning of the line. I tried using one of the premade scene breaks, but the previewer did not display them.
I'll tel you right now that you can't trust atticus. It randomly doesn't save your work or reverts back to an old version of your document. Writers beware.

That's fantastic to hear! Keep up the great work on your fourth book!

Glad it was helpful! Let me know how you get on using Atticus. I do think it is great value and has some nice features!

Thank you for your detailed feedback, Chris. I appreciate you sharing your experience with Atticus.

Does Atticus work as an editor, so I don't have to use or pay for an editor?

That sounds frustrating! Thanks for the heads up. I have not had that experience yet, but nothing worse than losing your work and starting over.

Definitely not worth it. Reedsy does a better job and it's free.
I appreciate the recommendation for Reedsy. I'll check it out!
