What is Author?
Author is a Mac app for creating and publishing documents to the web. It is aimed at writers, note takers and anyone producing notes, stories, long form articles or photo stories who want formatting handled automatically. Content and structure are the focus, with professionally designed styles applied live so the page always shows the final published result. Works are published online instantly as stand alone pieces, and the integrated Author Cloud service lets users decide where to share and how to organize them, with an optimized reading experience on any device. The app is downloaded free from the Mac App Store.
