Format
2026Book formatting where you wrote the book
Style. Device preview. EPUB + print. Without a second Mac app and praying the chapters stay in order.
What is Typewriter Format?
Format is Typewriter’s public name for the Press surface — book formatting for authors: styles, device preview, and store files inside the same desk as your manuscript and story bible.
Pick a book style for every chapter, preview phone and e-reader, then generate DOCX, EPUB, and print packages. Product page: /format.
Why authors leave Vellum (and what we fix)
Vellum is beautiful and Mac-only. You write somewhere else — then import and hope. Atticus is cross-platform but still a separate home from deep continuity tools.
Format is web-first (any OS). Generate follows Pro / Typewriter+. Your manuscript never leaves the product that holds cast, continuity, and collab.
