Atticus is a program for book authors that allows to create professional print and e-books on all platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome. The program lets you import books from Word and other formats, customize the appearance of a book (choose one of 17 ready-made templates or create own theme in the builder), preview how your book will look on different devices (Kindle, Kobo, smartphones, etc.), format the text and export the book for any ecosystem and book sales platform. Atticus allows to work online and offline – it automatically saves your texts as you write and creates backups in the cloud.

Reedsy is free and simple cloud based ebook creation platform. You can either write your whole book there, or copy and paste it in once you are finished. You can add pictures and notes. On the downside, the customizing options are very limited: this is the price you have to pay for them to be able to automatically generate your beautiful book.

Switch to CAT mode after starting a new project and you'll see a cute cat on your virtual workspace, ready to keep you company as you reach your daily word count goals.
