Ratatouille – Anyone can write and publish

Just like Ratatouille (movie) – Anyone Can Cook, me and my husband have been trying to make it easy for anyone to write and publish a professional quality Book.

With that goal, anyone can write and publish, we are working on “Ratatouille-Framework”. As of now, it is still undergoing development, but the end product can still be shared with some good CRITIQUES.

What does Ratatouille-Framework achieve? Many things. Here is just a quick summary

  • Easy to write/update/monitor updates to the book
  • Easy to collaborate with different authors
  • Author is free to focus on contents rather then fight with formatting
  • Auto Versioning to identify revision of book
  • Create various sizes of PDFs
  • Create Customized/stripped/full HTML Edition also
  • Use various fonts as chosen by end user or author
  • Create PDFs separately for Print Media and Screen Media (See http://eclipsebook.in/preface/formats-of-the-book/)
  • Continuous improvement and continuous delivery of major updates of the book
  • PDF Encryption
  • Emailing personalized PDFs
  • Preview Editions
