Hello
I am currently working on a book, I went and bought a brand new MacBook Air for the job, yet I'm struggling to find a good enough app for the job.
Other authors recommended the iBook author app, but it appears it doesn't work well with Hebrew.
Please fix this, thank you

That only makes sense if you provide Apple full details on the areas where support is missing. "Doesn't work well" is useless for anyone at Apple working on "fixing" the app.
Have you tried Pages? I think it does RTL scripts better and can export to .epub format.
Be aware that Apple's book store does not yet fully support Hebrew books, according to

You could try LibraOffice. Or Mellel, which is especially designed for RTL, and has a free trial.
Yeah I ended up buying Mellel 4, its perfect! Finally a top solution for all the authors out there who write from right to left.
Shame Apple didn't fixed it yet, we are in 2019 and one would expect that such a good company, offering the top quality products for professional workers, still didn't fixed Hebrew with its built in apps and even App Store products.
Mellel is expancive, but worth the money, just shame some third party developers did what Apple should of done ages ago.
Yeah sorry about not going into details, the problem is with right to left writing and latin signs like dots (.) and question marks (?) and so on, it messes up the lines. Also when trying to compress 2 lines into a single paragraph, it messes the space between letters. Same problem exists with Pages, but less. I thought maybe there is a good free app I can use, as currently I'm using Google Docs but I'm forced to be connected to the internet in order to use it.
iBook Author full Hebrew language support request, currently its unusable
