Proof Your Book
The development team behind Atticus is doing everything possible to make formatting your book and exporting publish-ready files as easy as possible, but as with any project, there are always unexpected twists that may surprise you.
Before publishing, proofread the book carefully for any errors or formatting inconsistencies. It’s a good idea to have someone else review the book as well. Hopefully it will be perfect with your first try, but it’s always worthwhile to be thorough.
To proof the eBook version, we recommend using Kindle Previewer. This allows you to see how the formatting will show when readers download your book to their device from Amazon or any other major distributor.
For the print version of your book, we recommend using Adobe Acrobat Reader. To have it display as a printed book will, once it’s open, you’ll want to tweak these settings:
