Great intro and ending! Very cool how you showed us not only told us, piqueing attention, ending with music too. Way to go!
Hahaha, true author style, show don't (or more specifically AND) tell! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the excellent explanation and showing so many awesome examples! The book at 6:40 looks familiar :P
So honored to have my book featured in this video, thank you!
We're so happy to showcase such beautiful and creative - not to mention effective - designs! Thank you for being part of the amazing Atticus authors community!
Amazing style!
Thank you!!
My writing partner Kate uses Atticus to format our books. Speaking of which, it was cool to see one of our books, Queen Killer, in the stack of books to the left of screen near the start of the video 😍
YAY! I love that too, we are always so excited to see and engage with Atticus authors. Perhaps your book will be featured in a future video!
This video was very helpful. The only thing addition I would have added were a few books that were in the non-fiction relm.
Great suggestion! I'll try to add some non-fiction in future videos!
Hi Atticus. I am at the moment trying to create that very table of contents. Looking at the back matter specifically. How was that done? This video doesn't seem to cover that.
The Table of Contents is automatically created by Atticus. If you're having trouble with this, it's best to write into suppport and they'll be able to help out more directly!
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.
For the eBook title page, you won't want to judge it by the preview in Atticus, but rather export the ePub and view using Kindle Previewer. We recommend using the specs provided by your publisher - full page images can be the same size as your ebook cover. I hope that helps!
@@AtticusWriter okay thank you!
6:50, how did the author make the tree expand the whole page along with the text?
@HelenaCross Oh, interesting. I like it. I'll have to research more to figure out how to do it. Thanks
Yup, @HelenaCross is exactly right! If you search our tutorials for 2 page spreads, it covers single page background images too!
@@AtticusWriter Oh wow thanks!
Can you please fix the issue with inverted text color not working. I've been having to turn it on and off a million times and redownload the PDF over and over and over to get it to work.
It sounds like your Atticus may need a bit of an update, as this shouldn't be happening. Can you try:
- Log out of Atticus using the profile icon in the top right
- In Chrome, open an Incognito browser by pressing
- Log back into app.atticus.io
Hopefull that works better!
@@AtticusWriter Sadly, I've tried that several times to no avail.
@@KaylaL-mo1yo If you get in touch with our support team, they should be able to help better!
Is it possible to make your own Back Matter and saving it to Atticus?
Absolutely! This tutorial should help you understand how to create the pages, but if you search for a tutorial on Master Pages, that will help you save it in Atticus so you can use it in all your book...or any you want to, at least!
How do you add roman numerals?
If you mean for page numbers, the front matter will automatically use Roman numerals so Page 1 is the first page in the body section. If you need any more help, write into our support email and they'll be able to help out!
you didn't talk about back matter
If you have any specific questions about back matter, you're always welcome
Why do I have to watch 4 mins of ads just to watch your tutorials? Its ridiculous!!!
