Description

Cambric serves as a desktop tool tailored for writers and independent publishers focused on creating text-oriented books. It features a chapter-centric manuscript editor and binder for organizing various components such as sections, chapters, and both front and back matter, all while providing a real-time preview of formatted print pages. Users have the ability to initiate a new project or import an existing DOCX manuscript, apply design templates for book interiors, and customize trim and layout settings, while also assessing typography, margins, chapter openings, page transitions, and other important elements prior to exporting their work. Additionally, Cambric allows for the generation of print-ready PDFs and adaptable EPUB 3 files from the same local project, including editable DOCX file outputs. This application is specifically designed for genres that utilize chapters, such as novels, memoirs, narrative nonfiction, and poetry, and is compatible with 64-bit versions of Windows and macOS. Authors maintain control of their project files on their local systems and can upload the finished products to their preferred publishing platforms, as Cambric itself does not engage in book distribution. In essence, Cambric streamlines the publishing process for writers seeking a comprehensive solution for their book formatting needs.

Description

Classic elements such as personalized drop caps and decorative embellishments are present in both printed and digital versions, ensuring that readers enjoy a beautifully crafted and professionally formatted book, whether they opt for a paperback or a digital reader. By utilizing Vellum, authors can maximize their ebook potential, create box sets for their series, and produce advance copies to gather early feedback. The platform also allows for seamless integration of links to social media like Facebook and Twitter, along with store links to facilitate easy purchases of upcoming titles. Vellum supports the generation of ebooks for various platforms, including Kindle, Apple Books, and Kobo, and boasts an instant turnaround that lets you work at your own pace. Every aspect of book formatting—page numbers, margins, headers, font choices, and line spacing—happens automatically, saving you hours of manual setup. Furthermore, Vellum transcends basic formatting by automatically preventing widow lines, balancing page spreads, and avoiding short pages, resulting in a polished book that appears expertly crafted in mere minutes. This efficiency allows authors to focus more on their writing and less on the technicalities of book production.
