Atticus
Atticus is software that helps to create stunning formatted professional print books and eBooks.
A formatter designs the inside of a manuscript so it can be published as an eBook or paperback. This includes choosing fonts, margins, and spacing; arranging text and chapters; adding images; and ensuring consistency with page numbers, headers, and footers. They also prepare files for different formats (EPUB, PDF, print-on-demand) and upload them to platforms like Amazon or Google Play, always aiming for a book that is clear, readable, and visually appealing.
Recently, formatting has become more collaborative, with updates managed on a webpage rather than only in Word or OneDrive. This system allows both authors and formatters to track the most current version, easily update introduction and back pages, and ensure references are in place—making the process smoother and more efficient for everyone involved.
Our current formatters in training:
Marta Esther is currently formatting PTG RYR
Kateleen Joseph is currently formatting Salvation Stories and WOT2 "Blessings that Overflow"
Janine Saaiman is currently formatting ENG RYR

If you have a question for Adina as a Formatter or how to become a Formatter, please comment below.
I have no problem with Janine doing the word count and am glad you agree that having an ongoing word count would be ideal for STAGE 1. BUT what about Brincy? If she’s up to the challenge, could she work with Janine? Working with your mom is first in the process, but then working with other EW helps confirm principles and promises so the young women can grow!!
Hmmm, once we are caught up, this would be soooo easy for the PROOFREADER to do. Once the corrections are made, copy and paste them into https://wordcounter.net/, and then they can add the word count plus their checkmark that it’s been proofread.
I’m not sure of dividing by 355 to get the page count, but maybe the formatter comes behind and leaves the total? Idk.
O yes, I think it would be great to have Brincy on board either to work with Janine or me to learn the formatting process etc. And it would be great to see how she grows in her relationship with Her Father by working with Him, and what He anointed her for.
Yes, I think it would be a good task for the proofreader to do after a lesson is proofed and signed off.
Once the chapter is added to the document, the formatter will be able to get the chapter statistics for that chapter like the number of pages, characters, words.
https://homegrownministries.com/wmw/intro/ I added something after completing another chapter. It was after I began the process here https://homegrownministries.com/uwm/intro/
Make any changes or improvements, and also, I just heard from Marta that Brincy is ready to work for us! I’ll CC you in the email response.
Dear Erin, we don’t have access to the conversation https://chatgpt.com/share/e/68a49f2b-d620-8005-a416-98b54ba1d1d3
Well, that’s interesting. Thanks for letting me know that you can’t access these links. My husband hasn’t told me how to remedy this and what more I should share, so I’ll need to wait until he does and I’ll be back.
Atarah I have added you to the list for formatters in training, what is your daughter’s BNN name?
Hi Adina, thanks so much. Its Saddya
I’m so sorry I’d not seen this 🤔 I was having issues with my CPA and the formatting when I ran this through her. When I pasted it onto the webpage the headings were HUGE and the scripts larger indented and italic etc.
THANK YOU DARLING 💗💗 He’s used this pause for GOOD since it was just YESTERDAY, Tuesday that I got my CPA’ 👩💼 to understand what Yvonne and I confirmed was His plan regarding the scripture REFERENCES as numbered Footnotes 💥💥
Right now my Husband and I have been discussing converting the proofreaders > “proofing” (“proofing” that authors and coauthors aka translators have their CPA 👩💼 to do) > TNT 💥 IWG in the Publishing Process. https://restoreministriesinternational.com/inspired-word-of-god/
Understood, thank you.
Adina HLM here to ask if you have testimonies ✨ regarding what we purchased? I’d honestly anticipated that this position would be basically obsolete because it worked so well and was so easy and quick to use. Yes faith like a child.
What can you tell us? Time and effort and ease of use? Easily trained? Possibly 🤔 it’s a Service IC GRADs and Students 👩🎓 can add to their BNNWIX website?
I also believe this will work, although it will not replace formatting completely but cut the time it takes. I added the link to the top of the page and believe that ladies like Anastasia and/or Yvonne can also check it out to test it. There is a lot of training videos available.
Thank you dear Nelly I will add you to the list when we have new books to format.
Thanks Adina,
I’ll be attentive.
