I'm starting to write a book and I am considering to use the [iBooks Author](https://www.apple.com/ibooks-author/) app since I tend to like Apple products. Through my research, I learned I can publish it into iBooks, [export it for iBooks or in another format](https://support.apple.com/kb/PH2809?locale=en_US), which all seem valid options as, for example, I could also publish it on Amazon or Barnes & Noble. But I also want to have the option to generate a formatted (or pre-formatted) version to send to a publisher to print, to possibly avoid the costs of formatting. Is this possible through iBooks? * * * **Some contextual information:** Please notice that I'm a beginner in this area, so any advice is appreciated. I'm open to using different software too, if it meets the requirements. My current goal is to start simple, maybe with e-book and paperback versions. I'm very skilled with learning to use software in general and somewhat creative with artwork, although I don't have plenty of time available to spend on over detailed formatting rules. Software that can help me with that is valid, even if it has a reasonable cost. * * * _The book's humble goal is to raise hope and clarity about life for interested readers through inner reflections and the profits are to support a non-profit organization with the same goals._
