This feature alone makes the purchase of Atticus worth every penny...and some!

[@AtticusWriter]

That's awesome to hear - I hope you put it to good use and have phenomenal success with your books!

[@JenniferRosario-g4m]

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

[@AtticusWriter]

You are so welcome!

[@j.r.shepherd1860]

Great video! Thank you so much for this! I love the resources that Atticus provides.

[@AtticusWriter]

I'm so glad you're finding the videos helpful!

[@lauralai9694]

This is excellent! I'm happy I learned how and where to upload my ebook cover in Atticus! How many pixels should the ebook cover have? In previous videos, you mentioned different Kindle and Apple iBooks pixel requirements.

[@AtticusWriter]

Kindle recommends 2560x1600 you should be good to go. Apple iPages restricts to 1600x2400 pixels or a total of 4 million pixels

I noticed the the body content shifts in/out from margin, I am using 6x9. Also is there a way to reduce the spacing between the h1 and the body text?

[@AtticusWriter]

The margins will shift page by page to account for the inside crease of the book - this is exactly how it's supposed to be! You can't currently change the spacing between the chapter header, no, but if you have any other questions, the fastest response will always come from writing into our support email. thanks!

What are the smallest Trim Sizes for a book in Atticus? (Landscape orientation).

[@AtticusWriter]

Atticus currently doesn't have a landscape orientation, sorry. In the future we're hoping to work in a custom trim size option though!

[@DerekGreenlee]

I am still confused about actual image size for hardcover and how I can tell using Atticus what it will look like? I feel like I have the correct image size, but when I add it to the hard cover image it looks a little large even though I used Book Brush. Help please?

[@AtticusWriter]

if you mean your book cover, you don't import that into Atticus as all. The book covers for the print versions will always be uploaded to your publisher as a separate PDF file. If you're inserting a full page image into the content of your book, you'd want to use the Full Page Image feature with full bleed. You'll have to write into support with further details about your exact situation if you're still having trouble.

[@cheryldahl9192]

Interesting. I might have to watch it a few times. I'm not sure how the cover works.

[@AtticusWriter]

You can always write into support if you need more tips, too :-)

[@paulnasmyth]

I'm slightly confused about the front cover upload within Atticus. Is that just for e-books?

[@AtticusWriter]

Yes, the book cover you upload is just for the eBooks. The print cover will always need to be a separate PDF you upload to the publisher, and it doesn't need to be imported into Atticus. I hope that helps!

[@JenniferRosario-g4m]

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!

[@AtticusWriter]

Night Cafe AI is a separate product, so I'm not sure if we can/will do a tutorial on it, but I'll keep it in mind!

[@savoirabondance9963]

Hi. I write my ebooks in French. Can I use Atticus in french language please ?

[@AtticusWriter]

You can! The user interface in Atticus is in English, but you can absolutely write and format your book in French!

[@ReneRafael]

Getting this error when visiting your calculator: "Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent"

[@AtticusWriter]

I'm so sorry for the trouble! Just after I released the video an udpate on our site has cause the plugin to glitch. We're working on it right now and hopefully it will be up and running again soon!

[@Dedalus94]

Please for the love of god chapter your youtube tutorials

[@AtticusWriter]

Thanks for the feedback.
