Windows Authors Deserve Better
Vellum is Mac-only
The industry's favorite tool locks out 75% of PC users. Windows authors are left searching for alternatives.
Web tools need internet
Cloud-based formatters fail when you need to work offline. Your productivity shouldn't depend on your WiFi.
Word isn't built for books
Wrestling with templates wastes time and looks amateur. Professional formatting shouldn't require a design degree.
