Just a note to say that I love using Scrivener. I only use some of the features but it’s fantastic for keeping track of characters and events in novels. I love the synopsis cards and being able to keep research in one place. Even though I tend to write in chapters, I also love the ability to move sections of the novel around and the split screen view. Snapshot is also great for trying new ideas while keeping old work together. I’m sure I could get more out of it but it’s given me a lot already. It was a great purchase and worth every cent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

Just wanted to say that after taking the plunge and using\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0in earnest for my current book, it\u2019s proved to be a godsend. Just the ability to shunt scenes around fast is worth the switchover from a regular WP app on its own, let alone the rest of the features.

The last few years have seen the appearance of several OS X applications designed for the use of writers. Many of these applications are very good \u2014 but every one is in some way lacking. I’ve tried them all, and none has been more than a temporary home; a good place to stay until something better came along. And guess what \u2014 it finally did.\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0incorporates and improves the best aspects of its progenitors and, in doing so, exceeds them all.

Scrivener\u00a0has revolutionised the way I approach writing. I think in visuals \u2014 I use mind maps and diagrams to jot down ideas \u2014 and\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0allows me to utilise the fluidity of this, but in an organised digital environment. There\u2019s an on-screen cork board to see all the index cards created, so I can check my chapter\/page headings \u2014 and synopsis of each \u2014 at a glance; in seconds, I can easily navigate through thousands of words, and to any position in the text, by simply scrolling through the menu bar; I can drag any chapter\/page and place it elsewhere in the draft; and I can insert quick thoughts and concepts into my drafts with just one click. By offering a non-linear writing platform,\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0gives writers the ability to approach their work in a spontaneous, flexible, innovative way \u2014 which enables a more creative result.

Think of a feature you’d like to have with your writing software… seriously… anything that would make the writing process easier. How about having every chapter both separate and part of the whole so that you can move them around with total ease? Or maybe you are an outliner like me and you’d like to see the outline on screen right next to your manuscript. Perhaps you are totally a visual writer; how about being able to drop art and photos into a display window that sits open on the side of your manuscript? And for the ADD writers out there \u2014 yeah, I’m one of those \u2014 how about a mode that blocks everything else on your desktop and completely focuses you on the page you need to finish? If this sounds good, wait. I haven’t even covered a 3rd of what\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0can do for you. The beauty of\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0is the interface. Everything you could possibly need is right there on the same screen. Because of\u00a0Scrivener, I am flying through my next manuscript. God bless the folks at Literature & Latte!

Author of the 13 book\u00a0Scream Street<\/em>\u00a0series, published in the UK by Walker Books and in the US by Candlewick Press. He has also written a number of books for specialist reluctant reader publisher, Barrington Stoke.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today I finished the first draft of my 32nd book \u2014 and the eighth I\u2019ve written entirely in\u00a0Scrivener. I\u2019ve also used\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0to write dozens of short stories, a handful of magazine articles and countless book proposals. I\u2019ve got a stage script or two on the go, and I\u2019ve even had a shot at my first comic book script.<\/p>\n

As a writer, changing software is a big deal; I\u2019d got used to how to write in MS Word, even if that meant the usual glitches I\u2019d come to expect from the industry standard software. I was used to scrolling through page after page of manuscript to find that one spot where I wanted to rename a minor character, or drop in a clue to the identity of the villain. I knew I\u2019d have to spend time juggling with formatting before submitting my work. I accepted that I\u2019d have to deal with a couple of force quits, and bring a manual back-up of my book to life, kicking and screaming. It\u2019s all just part of the job and, after all, Word isn\u2019t exclusively for writers \u2014 it has to fulfil a thousand different roles for a thousand types of user.<\/p>\n

Then I discovered\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0\u2014 software created especially for writers. That\u2019s why I use it. It was designed with people like me in mind. You\u2019ll read elsewhere on this website that\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0allows you to split your work up into chapters, scenes and even paragraphs; that it\u2019s a place where you can keep all your research material within easy access; that you can view two versions of a scene on screen at the same time, putting an end to the laborious copying and pasting between different files; that you can reorganise your plot quickly and easily via the cork board; that you can export your work to dozens of different formats, each with a seemingly unlimited list of potential customisations; that the software saves your work every time you pause from typing, and makes automatic back-ups in case things go wrong. It\u2019s all true \u2014\u00a0Scrivenerdoes all this and more. But I use\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0simply because it allows me to write without worrying whether the program I\u2019m using will let me write.<\/p>\n

Whatever you want to write, give\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0a try. I\u2019m certain you won\u2019t regret it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

I use\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0to write drafts of my weekly \u201cAsk A Punk\u201d blog posts, and when I decided to turn the first year of those posts into an ebook, I used\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0to reformat and compile the separate files. I also use it as an outlining, research organizing & writing tool on projects ranging from novels and comic books to videogames and screenplays. \u2026In fact, I tell my writing and screenwriting students that they should, before shoveling out a couple hundred dollars for Final Draft etc., make sure they have a story to tell, and the perseverance to tell it, by using\u00a0Scrivener. Thank you for creating this.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

When I wrote the first edition of\u00a0Genetics for Dummies<\/em>, I created a massive document that I called my \u2018metajournal.\u2019 It was the holding place for everything about my writing process from obsessing over page counts and deadlines to annotating my literature cited. By the time I was asked to revise the book for its second edition, I had discovered\u00a0Scrivener. Gone were the days of scrolling back and forth, scrambling around trying to remember what text went where, and juggling multiple files for text and citations and journaling.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an incredible program that does exactly what software is\u00a0supposed<\/em>\u00a0to do: simplify my life so I can focus on what\u2019s important.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

It\u2019s an incredibly powerful, yet flexible, toolbox. There\u2019s never any sense of being overwhelmed by a writing project when you use Scrivener. You can hold an entire book (or number of books, come to that) in a single project, but at any moment in time you can focus on just the stuff you want to focus on. The rest of the project melts into the background until you\u2019re ready for it.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t Full Testimonial > <\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n

I must have tried at least a dozen different pieces of software supposedly designed for writers.<\/p>\n

Not one of them can hold a candle to\u00a0Scrivener, in my opinion.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an incredibly powerful, yet flexible, toolbox.<\/p>\n

How you work with\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0is always up to you.\u00a0Scrivener doesn\u2019t try to tell you how to do things. If you\u2019re the nerdy, super-organised type, that\u2019s fine.\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0can cope with that. But it\u2019s also happy with the \u2018get it all written and sort it out later\u2019 approach to writing.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s never any sense of being overwhelmed by a writing project when you use\u00a0Scrivener. You can hold an entire book (or number of books, come to that) in a single project, but at any moment in time you can focus on just the stuff you want to focus on. The rest of the project melts into the background until you\u2019re ready for it.<\/p>\n

Excellent support comes as standard due to the written manual (the best I\u2019ve seen for any piece of software I\u2019ve used in more than 35 years of using computers), a tutorial in the form of an actual\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0project (so you\u2019re inside\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0itself while learning how to use it) and an excellent forum where the developers and other helpful users will have your problems sorted out very promptly.<\/p>\n

Quite how they manage to sell this at such a ridiculously modest price, I\u2019ve no idea. I understand plans are afoot for a new version. How on earth they think they can improve on the current version is another thing that baffles me.<\/p>\n

If you have any interest at all in writing, of any sort, you\u2019re seriously missing out if you haven\u2019t given\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0a try.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

Being blind has its own set of challenges. Being a blind professional writer is akin to a scuba diver looking for a place to dive in the desert. Sure, there are lakes and pools but none of which are deep enough to enjoy a satisfying dive.<\/p>\n

There are few things worse than purchasing a program from a well-known corporation, only to discover that it does not play well with my Braille display or screen-reading program. In short, it is inaccessible.<\/p>\n

When I purchased Scrivener, I did so with ambivalence, certain the program would be inaccessible, or partially accessible. I loaded the program and started using it, putting it through the blind-user gauntlet, encouraging the app to fail. It did not. It performed like a well-trained guide dog, obeying my commands without a glitch. In truth, it behaved more nobly than Microsoft Word and Apple\u2019s Pages.<\/p>\n

I now use Scrivener on all my devices to write articles, blog posts, novels, short stories, as well as keeping notes and recipes. It has taken the place of all my word processing programs, note applications, and story-writing apps.<\/p>\n

Scrivener is an essential tool for any writer, whether they are blind or sighted. I applaud them for taking the time to develop a product that not only works, but out performs those produced by Microsoft and Apple, corporations that should be more diligent at producing accessible applications.<\/p>\n

Thank you Scrivener team for developing such a valuable truly accessible tool.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

I have bought, and been disappointed, by nearly every writing tool available for the Mac. Each one would have a unique feature that I loved, but would be lacking in some other regard, so I found myself moving projects in and out of different pieces of software as I wanted certain tools.

I used to use separate applications for comic book scripts, my journal, research projects and my novel manuscript.\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0has replaced all of them. As much as I love the flexibility of creating and organizing the actual script or manuscript, the single greatest feature of\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0is the ability to keep every disparate snippet of text and random photographic reference in a single\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0project along with the work in progress. I am a horribly disorganized individual and all of my projects end up requiring extensive amounts of reference material. Pasting it all into the project doc has literally saved me hours of time.

He is now Senior Editor and author-in-residence at Croul Publications in Newport Beach, California.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have recently completed my latest book,\u00a0Hobie: Master of Water, Wind and Waves<\/em>, using your excellent program.<\/p>\n

It is the comprehensive biography of a man who is such a rock star in the worlds of surfing and sailing that, like Sting, Madonna and Prince, he is known by his fans worldwide by just one name. This very day, Halloween 2013, Hobie turns 80 years old.<\/p>\n

The book is 300 pages, 9″ by 12″ portrait format, 17 chapters, 585 photos\/illustrations all of which are captioned. Captions alone total 15,000 words.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of this year, after some 18 months of research, I knew I had to write 1,000 words a day for 100 days to complete a manuscript for my publisher, Croul Publications, in order to complete the book for a release date later this year — in time for 2013 holiday season sales in the USA, Europe and Australasia.<\/p>\n

Alas, I was able only to write the book\u2019s actually required 120,000 words in 130 days. Still, not a bad problem.<\/p>\n

It was, I am convinced,\u00a0Scrivener\u2019s genius software that made that possible.<\/p>\n

The ability to import all of my research \u2014 80-plus interview transcripts, a multiplicity of scanned documents, website references and more \u2014 that made the research access so simple and immediate that it saved me countless hours of searching, launching and re-launching various platforms, shuttling between multiple screens and programs, etc.<\/p>\n

The search function was also a fantastic help as the manuscript became longer and more complex in checking for possible redundancies in the chapters. It was also a boon in building the final index. The synopsis function, that I mostly used in corkboard form, is also terrific in keeping track of chapter content as it evolved during the writing.<\/p>\n

For a long-form author engaged in a complicated project with a vast array of background research,\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0is light years ahead of any other word processing tools, none of which I\u2019ll ever use again except for one- or two-page documents.<\/p>\n

I have not so far written movie scripts, but I have started one, albeit not very ambitious, for an 8-character, 4-minute short, and I\u2019m using\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0to do it. I have drank, drunk, drunken your Kool-Aid.<\/p>\n

Perhaps interestingly, I came across\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0by serendipity. My neighbor here in Laguna Beach, California, is a retired systems analyst and computer whizz; an early tech-whiz kinda guy. He told me that he\u2019d seen on some blog somewhere that novelist Michael Chabon was raving about\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0after using it for his latest book,\u00a0Telegraph Hill<\/em>.<\/p>\n

When I referenced that link, long lost now, about how much research Chabon had on file about Oakland history as background, I immediately thought, “Aha!” — and I took\u00a0Scrivener\u2019s 30-day trial option. Just five days later I was already convinced and paid my $45, not quite believing how inexpensive it was.<\/p>\n

This year I faced my biggest Scrivener challenge. I\u2019ve been writing with\u00a0this incredible software since the beginning. Now I had the thoroughly\u00a0modern dilemma of turning posts, from my popular blog, into a book.<\/p>\n

I certainly did not want to cheat: that disappointing maneuver of throwing\u00a0blog posts into a word processor until I reach my word count. I wanted to\u00a0turn my material into a real book that would delight my fans, and make me\u00a0new ones. Enter the latest Scrivener.<\/p>\n

I would pull in blog posts with related themes using the handy web import\u00a0feature. I would create a folder, and put all the different blog posts into\u00a0the folder as documents. This gave me a fast word count when I clicked on\u00a0the folder. I arranged them into a better order for a book chapter.\u00a0Pro-tip: turn all that web stuff into editable text by opening a new blank\u00a0document to Paste and Match Style. Gets rid of the pictures and the links\u00a0and makes me see it in a new way.<\/p>\n

I would background the text from each post into a different highlight color\u00a0(love that!) and chop it into pieces and ditch the parts I don\u2019t need.\u00a0Blogging is a shorter medium and I must assume this is the first blog post\u00a0my reader has ever seen. In books, we have a history, depending on where I\u00a0put this chapter.<\/p>\n

Now, I have the essence of what I want to say, I re-arrange it until it\u00a0flows from beginning to end. Now I fill in the parts that need to hook\u00a0together the different parts. Before I know it, I have a chapter. Or two.\u00a0Or an idea for a new chapter.<\/p>\n

Do that long enough… and there\u2019s a book.<\/p>\n

Thank you, Scrivener.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

For many months I have searched a chance to finally work with\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0\u2014 many attempts have been made in the past before, never reaching the aim of writing a novel, a short story and stuff like that. Then, when I needed to cooperate with German writer Martina Andr\u00e9 regarding the short story \u2018Du bist ein offenes Buch\u2019 (\u2018You are an open book\u2019) for the episode novel \u2018Das Steinerne Auge\u2019 (\u2018The Stone Eye\u2019) we decided to work in two ways \u2014 creating the drafts with Microsoft Word first, exchanging our ideas and later importing them into\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0which finally lead to something I want to call structure. Structure\u00a0was missing before and while we have sent fourteen versions of the final short story to each other we realized that we had to organize us in another way \u2014 and this was the point where\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0(which I bought earlier at Version 1) came into gameplay. Finally, I had the chance to really pursue my writing with\u00a0Scrivener, creating the first real project with it and \u2014 last but not least \u2014 got my first short story published in a whole novel with other well-known German authors.

I spent months testing different software for authors. Most programs were rigid, too structured. They distracted me from the primary mission \u2014 writing my first novel \u2014 and turned computer sessions into engineering nightmares. The programs emphasized technology and formulaic patterns, thereby defeating their value as tools.<\/p>\n

Then I found\u00a0Scrivener. There\u2019s only a modest learning curve to get started. And the software serves all the core needs of writers. As an outliner,\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0organizes your book. It\u2019s easy to track events and descriptions. You will never again lose time flipping between pages to confirm whether a character has blue eyes or brown.<\/p>\n

As a filing system,\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0enables you to save research in the same file as your narrative. No more bushwhacking through cluttered hard drives to uncover buried articles. It\u2019s easy to flip between your book and research when confirming details.<\/p>\n

As a word processor,\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0offers easy-to-use tools: text editor, spell checker, and fonts to name a few. I especially like the export function. It\u2019s easy to translate\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0files into Microsoft Word \u2014 a feature that keeps my publisher happy.<\/p>\n

Scrivener\u00a0is excellent value for the money. Plus, it\u2019s a robust platform. I have never lost files or experienced quirky behavior.\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0won\u2019t write your book. But it will make your time at the computer more productive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

As a new author, I had some trepidation about trusting my scribblings to a standard word processing application. Too many bizarre formatting gremlins inhabit that world. So after doing some research, I found\u00a0Scrivener. From the first evening filling my cork board with scene ideas, to the later stages of the project when I would spin out a quick EPUB or MOBI or PDF document for my editor or beta readers,\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0always had the right tool for the job. As an iPad owner, the sync feature with SimpleNote has unshackled me from my MacBook and allowed me to have a viable writing desk anywhere I travel. And isn\u2019t that really the point of any good tool? To allow the artisan to shape his world without making special accommodations for the tool.<\/p>\n

Independent authors, who want to truly compete with the big six stable of writers, must make quality their top concern. Even though we may sell our works for pennies or a few dollars, the reader expects our product to be equal to the traditional publishers.\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0allows independent authors to publish their work, in a variety of popular formats, with the click of a button. The results are magical.<\/p>\n

I came to\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0late in the game. I started writing my first novel,\u00a0The Long Drunk<\/em>, in one of the bloated versions of Word. Then I switched to Mellel when Word did one of their asinine updates that reduced the writing area to the size of a bottle cap.

As a professional screenwriter, I use Scrivener for all my projects from beginning to end: research, outline, draft, it\u2019s completely changed the way I work. I used to manage documents in a variety of formats depending on the stage \u2013 research webpages scattered in various browsers, short documents in Word, screenplays in Final Draft. I can now keep everything tidy and immediately accessible in the same Scrivener project. Being able to use Scrivener on my iPad keeps me productive when I\u2019m on the move. I usually export to PDF when I deliver a screenplay, but if a producer insists on Final Draft I can easily export to that format.<\/p>\n

I love Scrivener for writing screenplays so it only felt natural to use it to pen my first non-fiction book,\u00a0Screenwriting Unchained<\/i>. Researching, structuring and formatting this was no small feat as the 470-page manuscript included many infographics and case studies. Scrivener made the process incredibly easy and flexible. It also made exporting to a variety of formats for eBook and print books a snap. At the moment, I\u2019m using Scrivener to write\u00a0Problem Solved!<\/i>, the second volume in my Story-Type Method series, as well as a trilogy of YA novels.

First of all, I couldn\u2019t believe how cheap such a great app was and remains to be. I was more than happy to send in my payment.<\/p>\n

I have used\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0on every one of my novels and I\u2019ve found that not only is it great for writing each draft, its perfect during the editing process when I\u2019m working with my publisher. I simply import the version that I receive from my editor, split into scene or chapter cards with the \u2018split at selection\u2019 feature, then I can mix, match, and move around the text in whatever fashion the editor wants me to rearrange my novel.<\/p>\n

It was invaluable for my latest release because not only did I have to do standard editing and clean up of the feel and flow of the novel, but I had to introduce a completely new throughline and weave it into the existing manuscript. Using the index cards, I wrote a synopsis of all scenes old and new and moved them around at will until I had the story \u2018just right\u2019. Then I brought it all together into a new draft, exported and submitted it.<\/p>\n

BTW the novel received a 4 out of 5 star rating from the premier romance writer\/reader magazine in the world, Romantic Times. I couldn\u2019t have accomplished this without\u00a0Scrivener.<\/p>\n

I also use\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0when I go to writer\u2019s conferences, using index cards for individual lectures and sessions. As a result, other authors see me using the software and always ask about it. They love it. One author, a Windows XP user, went out and bought a Mac just so that she could buy\u00a0Scrivener!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been a\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0disciple from the very beginning and will continue to be. Great job!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

David Hirsch and Dan Van Haften used\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0to write\u00a0Abraham Lincoln and the Structure of Reason<\/em>. The authors reveal for the first time the structure Abraham Lincoln used to compose his most famous speeches and writings. Like Lincoln’s writings,\u00a0Scrivener itself is based on structure. Nothing makes writing easier than a sound structural framework. Writing the book was a pleasure. Doing it within\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0made it easy. First the authors discovered the Euclidean source of Lincoln\u2019s oratorical greatness. Then they discovered how Lincoln at times “misused” his powerful logical tools. Also revealed is a profound Lincoln connection to Thomas Jefferson and the Declaration of Independence, a connection stronger than ever before realized. More discoveries relating to Isaac Newton and Aristotle, and to the legal system itself. As one discovery led to another,\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0easily adapted and responded to the needs of the authors. It is hard to imagine doing this project without\u00a0Scrivener.

Graduate of Yale Law School, author of\u00a0The Legal Mind<\/em>\u00a0and is currently the Chief Campus Counsel for the University of California.<\/p>\n

For years, I wanted to write a book for a general audience about how the law really works, especially how the legal system thinks about and deals with deception, forgetting, and ambiguity. These are fascinating topics, but also knotty ones, and for the longest time I couldn\u2019t get started because I didn\u2019t know where to begin. Then I found\u00a0Scrivener. One year later, my book\u00a0The Legal Mind<\/em>\u00a0is published and recently ranked Number 7 on Amazon\u2019s bestseller list in the One L: Legal Profession category.<\/p>\n

With its flexible writing environment,\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0didn\u2019t force me to begin at the beginning. I could write where I wanted to write, and when I got stuck, I could switch to another part of the book and then come right back to where I left off.<\/p>\n

Scrivener\u00a0has received a lot of accolades as a tool for writing novels, but I can attest that it works great for non-fiction. For my book, I did everything in\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0from outlining, researching, and drafting to revising and outputting a near-final product that only required minor tweaking to get ready for publication. Without\u00a0Scrivener,\u00a0The Legal Mind<\/em>\u00a0would have been forever locked in my imagination.

From first firing it up, it was obvious that considerable thought and intelligence had gone into producing a program which works exactly the way I work. I was flattered to bits. When I begin a book, I used to buy a wallet file and all the research, drafts, notes and sketches would go in there, sorted by chapter. My latest book, Drawing Cartoons, was a complex project but instead of the wallet file, everything went into\u00a0Scrivener. It worked like a dream. And I love the way you can use those parts of the program which are useful to you NOW and the rest just stays out of the way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

The first time I looked at that screen, I felt like a \u201creal\u201d writer, like the program was designed to get the book out of my brain and into the document. I didn\u2019t even get into a lot of the real novel-writing features, this was purely a reaction to the layout and design of the page – I wanted to see my words in that space.<\/p>\n

And if that wasn\u2019t enough,\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0took things up a notch by having a space for note-taking on the right hand side. I have to write in a lot of different places, so keeping paper nearby for notes is a pain, and keeping another document open on my laptop means I get distracted by switching between windows. In\u00a0Scrivener, I could jot down anything that floated to mind without leaving my novel document, and I had all my little ideas on hand when I needed them.<\/p>\n

I look forward to buying the full release version of\u00a0Scrivenerfor Windows in 2011, I feel like I owe the designers for creating such a fabulous tool for my writing. Thanks, Literature & Latte!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

I’m a long time user of MS Word and wrote my first novel using that software. I have also edited my second novel with Word. When I signed the publishing contract for my debut novel,\u00a0Gerald and the Amulet of Zonrach<\/em>, I treated myself to Scrivener and I wish I had made the change a long time ago.<\/p>\n

I have since reedited\u00a0Jaguar<\/em>, in Scrivener, which needed a lot of research to make it authentic. I love the fact that I can drag PDFs into Scrivener so that I don’t have to keep switching applications just to clarify a fact. The double pane format is a boon to me and it has become even more important with my third novel,\u00a0Wilfred<\/em>. I had to do a lot of research for the setting for this novel as it is set in Anglo Saxon, England during the 8th century. The only way I could create a realistic setting for my character was to put all my research in one place and Scrivener has made it very easy. I also had to create a lot of characters who needed realistic Saxon names. There again Scrivener made it easy for me. I never lose track of a character and have to wade through the MS to refresh my memory about features. I am currently writing the first draft of the next in the Gerald series in Scrivener.<\/p>\n

All in all this is a fantastic tool if used in the way it was designed. It is perfect for writing those drafts required to get the MS ready for submission. Don’t forget you can also add a text document in there for your query and your synopsis, there is no need to have several Word documents open anymore. You don’t even have to export it to Word anymore as most agents and publishers want the query, synopsis and first few chapters pasted into the body of the email. Just copy and paste from Scrivener and you are good to go.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

Scrivener\u00a0is the gospel. When you\u2019re trying to organize all that chaos floating around your mind, the last thing you want to do is fight with your text editor \u2014 there is business to conduct, words to write! When laying out my book, the whole thing was outlined and compiled in\u00a0Scrivener, this chapter moves here, another moves there, it was all so easy and encouraging. Break up your grand work into as many parts as you need to get a handle on it,\u00a0and\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0will help put it all together for you. Now, everything I write goes in this program \u2014 every idea, every note, every concept \u2014 it\u2019s all organized and easily accessed when I\u2019m ready for it.\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0rides in on a white horse and offers a helping hand through the fog. It\u2019s worth every penny, and perhaps even a few more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

Scrivener\u00a0played a HUGE part in writing my new book, organizing the text, art, and copy\/content editing. Drawing Inspiration: Visual Artists At Work is a 400-page, good natured monster of a thing (185 contributors, 465 pieces of art, full-color). The manuscript was initially 620 pages and I essentially whittled off another 200 page book to make page count (a process streamlined by this great app).

Over 20 years ago, I started writing my first novel,\u00a0Closed Circuit<\/em>. I worked away at it for a while, put it aside, rewrote it a few times, put it aside\u2026. Somehow I was just never inspired to finish it.<\/p>\n

Last year a good friend kindly gave me his older Mac Mini just about the time NaNoWriMo came along. I immediately downloaded\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0and got to work. What to write? Well, how about a sequel to the unfinished first novel? That seemed do-able, and no sooner did I get started, I fell in love with\u00a0Scrivener. I managed to write more than 50,000 words and win.\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0made the process about as painless as it gets.<\/p>\n

After that, I told myself \u2014 if you can write this many words in that amount of time, you can surely finish that first book once and for all. So I dug out the manuscript\u2026 imported it into\u00a0Scrivener, and started writing. And once again\u00a0Scrivener worked its magic. I finished the book. The sequel,\u00a0Dutchman\u2019s Puzzle<\/em>, will be published in spring 2011, and I really believe I could not have done that without\u00a0Scrivener.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

I\u2019m in love! With\u00a0Scrivener. He \u2014 sorry, it \u2014 has totally changed my life.<\/p>\n

I was first introduced to\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0in an e-mail from my long-suffering Brother. I ignored him \u2014 sorry, it \u2014 completely. As if a piece of crummy software is going to make any difference to my creativity! I pressed delete.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, I got a second chance. A writer friend of mine re-introduced me to\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0(\u2018Haven’t we met?\u2019 \u2018No, I don’t think so.\u2019 \u2018I remember! Your brother introduced us! And you totally snubbed me! But fortunately I don’t bear a grudge, and you can have me for a 30-day free trial, and then for life for a single payment of around \u00a334.\u2019 If only all relationships were so straightforward.)<\/p>\n

And now it\u2019s love. Proper head over heels.\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0is amazing. He\u2019s \u2014 sorry, it’s \u2014 everything I could dream of in a word processor. Where to even begin?

But I\u2019ve never known multiple functions like this before… Truly, he\u2019s \u2014 sorry, it\u2019s \u2014 made me into a whole new writer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

A writer friend recommended\u00a0Scrivener months ago, and I didn\u2019t listen. When he told me it was not a word processor but a program specifically for writers, I\u2019m afraid I imagined cheesy brainstorming tools and templates, the sorts of things real working writers don\u2019t have time for and find intrusive. So I ignored him. I continued cobbling together messy folders all over my desktop and wasting precious writing time clicking through old drafts and notes, running searches on multiple documents, and struggling to maintain order among my re-ordered and re-numbered chapters.<\/p>\n

Because I\u2019m blind I originally switched to Mac for two reasons; the first was the accessibility and the second \u2014 because I was a journalist and blogger \u2014 was\u00a0Scrivener. That was five years ago and I\u2019ve written millions of words using the software. In 2012, I retired from journalism with burnout and started writing creatively as a kind of therapy which kept me sane.\u00a0Scrivener offered an ordered place to get the words down when they came, it allowed me to write scenes on the fly and out of sync, but still retaining the order that my autistic brain demands.<\/p>\n

In 2013, I started self-publishing short stories, using\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0to create the e-books and marvelling at the ease of it. This year, after a successful Kickstarter campaign, my first novella was self-published along with a novel, the first in a trilogy set in the same universe that will follow in the autumn.<\/p>\n

I sing\u00a0Scrivener\u2019s praises, recommending it to writers, potential authors and editors, because it\u2019s so versatile, from blogging to a series bible, articles to fiction, all I need is\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0and a keyboard and I\u2019m a author.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

I am a software user idiot, and that\u2019s being kind.

Maybe because it\u2019s a Mac-program, designed by folks who understand the importance of ease of use. Who knows. I just know that since I found\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0a few years ago, the way I write has been transformed.\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0allows me to keep, gather, and view all my research, videos, notes, and the document I\u2019m working on, at the same time. I can write a scene that takes place in a particular region of the country while watching a YouTube video of someone who just traveled there. This allows for an incredible multi-sensory writing experience. Usually, I have to watch a video or documentary, or read a book, and take notes and then remember. Now I can write while integrating those memories. I can write from the direct experience of the place, no matter where I am in the world.\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0has helped me be more grounded in my writing, more organized, and ultimately, more alive on the page. I appreciate that it was created by someone who understands the writing process. This is not a program to help you write better. It doesn\u2019t give you plot ideas or character ideas, but it helps you think better and it allows the writing that you are doing to take center stage. You will write more with\u00a0Scrivener, and you\u2019ll write better, because all your work is right there, and you\u2019re not searching for notebooks from three years ago with that one note you just know you have \u2026 anyone else do that? No more. File things in your\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0binders and forget about them. They\u2019ll be there at the exact moment your scene calls for it.

We started writing children\u2019s short stories, aimed at six to twelve year-olds, only a few months ago, and have five published by Devine Destinies thanks to\u00a0Scrivener. It\u2019s unbelievable. We both work on the same manuscript and the software makes it so easy to collaborate. Moving sections between different stories, sharing lists of characters, it\u2019s all so easy. Neither of us are really computer literate, and we\u2019re getting on in years, but the software is very intuitive and easy to pick up. I\u2019m sure there are many more gems to find in the software and we\u2019re looking forward to finding them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

SCRIVENER: THE BEST WRITER TOOL<\/p>\n

Any time that I start a new novel, I\u2019m always afraid on how to manage characters, document research, post it, last brilliant thought, poems, places… and the classical CRASH regarding file size.<\/p>\n

Since my works are normally around 600-800 pages (where obviously I need to write at least 1400 rough pages) the problem of organisation, info materials, pictures and so on, is a tremendous headache.<\/p>\n

When I discovered\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0and its superb features, all my writer life changed.<\/p>\n

Now, I can get and manage in real time, in just one place, all the material I need to go further and how deeply I want in my job. Sincerely, I think that\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0is so important to create good jobs as the sculptor tool could be. I hope Keith earns enough money to internationalise his software. Because all of us are expecting here more dictionaries, thesaurus and all the features that can help writers to feel comfortable with their job.<\/p>\n

One more time, thanks to work with what is the most important writers need: No crash dealing with big files \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Good job.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

Murder in the High Himalaya<\/em>\u00a0was a highly complex and detailed book to report combining history, front line reportage, investigative elements and interviews with hundreds of sources. In the early stages of the project it was easy to be overwhelmed with so much material. I scouted around for a way to manage all my research and was intrigued to come across\u00a0Scrivener. I struggled with the program at first but Keith wrote back personally every time to my queries \u2014 which I found most impressive \u2014 as I\u2019m heartily sick of being routed through to conference calling centers when I need immediate tech support.

Also on the left side I created a folder for my characters, another folder for my research.

I\u2019ve got my reference photos in the column by the scene at all times, no clicking around on my desktop to find them, and my URLs are there, too, if I need to go back and check my sources. I can move scenes around, double check to make sure I\u2019m distributing my point-of-views evenly, check on the word counts of my acts\u2026 it marries the flexibility I need to stay creative with the organization I need to save time and see the book as a whole.

After reading a glowing review of\u00a0Scrivenerlast year, I saw the potential to hugely ease the challenge of collecting and organizing book scenes, notes, and ideas, and moving them around my manuscripts. Well, I downloaded the free trial and dug into it, and must say that I was totally blown away by how effective, intuitive, and productive it is. Think of\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0as a corkboard where you can organize and search all your text clips and ideas at will \u2014 then compile them from a single window into a final Word (or other word-processing) manuscript when you are done. For me the program\u2019s biggest \u201cEureka\u201d feature is the ability to readily clip and paste between chapters, seeing and changing each of them separately while at the same time concurrently modifying the whole. I also like the ability to easily compare and combine drafts of the same chapter via a single window. I long ago imported my current book projects and am having a blast making them happen at rates many times faster than what I could do before. And the online forum support has been terrific. Wish I\u2019d had this program to write my first five books! Check out\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0if you are a writer and a Mac-head \u2014 you\u2019ll immediately be hooked. (Watch the online video to see all the cool stuff it does.) The only downside is that after becoming a hero in my writers group thanks to showing around\u00a0Scrivener, the PC-Windows users became upset when they realized they couldn\u2019t use it. There is some good news, though. One of my PC-Windows writing compatriots is switching to Mac \u2014 just so she can use\u00a0Scrivener!

Like many other authors, I wrote my first book on Word. I had folders full of research files, character sketches, timelines, creative musings, themes, cut scenes, etc. It was a true mess. At any given time, I had about 10 files open simultaneously so I could refer to all of my notes but I wasted much time constantly searching for the right file. In order to try to get a true grasp of my book, I made all kinds of diagrams and outlines, many of which I would promptly lose. The worst was when I did comprehensive edits on the 400-page manuscript and had to cut and move large chunks of text. By the time I\u2019d cut one scene, I had to search all through the manuscript again to find the spot I wanted to place it. If I then changed my mind, it was a big undertaking to put it all back again. Using Word on a book-length manuscript was like wrestling with an elephant.<\/p>\n

Then another author told me about\u00a0Scrivener. By then, I\u2019d sold my debut novel and become a professional writer. I knew what I needed. I actually bought a Mac so that I could use\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0because it wasn\u2019t available for PCs at that time.\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0took away all of my problems. I started and am finishing my next novel entirely on\u00a0Scrivener.\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0isn\u2019t a piece of writing software, so it doesn\u2019t confine me creatively at all. It just makes everything I need to do as an author much easier. I see an outline on the left side of the page which holds all of my character sketches, outlines, timelines, research, etc. I can easily click from file to file. I can look at the manuscript as text or I can see the scene outline without effort. It\u2019s a piece of cake to move a scene from one place to another, or to move it back again. I can select every scene of one story or character and make sure that it is flowing smoothly. Word is a fine program but\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0was designed for people who need to work with book-length manuscripts. I would never write a book without\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

There was a point about one month into my first using\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0when I realized just how much it had changed how I worked, how much easier the task had become, and I just started crying in relief. I had no idea how much of the story I was stringing together in my head, trying to keep a whole universe balanced while I worked, not until\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0helped me lay it out across a binder. The key for me was being able to compose scene by scene and move them around as needed, to skip whole sections of story or include them only as notes without having to use an additional document or paper notebook to keep the mess straight. Since using\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0I write much faster, and now years into use of the program I\u2019m creating custom templates and labels, getting wicked with keywords, and in general writing smarter as well as faster. It helps me professionally as well: I keep my correspondence with my publisher in the binder, right beneath the research notes I use to double-check information during copy edits. I\u2019ve also been able to customize exports of drafts for beta readers and for professional formatting in a way I could never have done with Microsoft Word.<\/p>\n

Author of fourteen novels, including\u00a0The Clockwork Vampire Chronicles<\/em>,\u00a0Theme Planet<\/em>,\u00a0Spiral<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Serial Killers Incorporated<\/em>. He runs his own publishing house, Anarchy Books, and is the editor of\u00a0Ultimate Adventure Magazine<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scrivener\u00a0is the perfect wordplay tool for the discerning writer. Not only is it rock-solid stable, it makes the whole composition of novel or screenplay much more fluid, enjoyable and logical \u2014 and all with the bonus of writer specific tools such as synopsis cards, easy chapter splitting and logical research access. I use\u00a0Scrivener to write my novels, screenplays and radioplays, and it is pleasure to use, but much more \u2014 I now use it for the construction and editing of ebooks for my publishing company, Anarchy Books. In this regard,\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0is the perfect ebook creation tool and I cannot recommend it enough!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

I\u2019ve been meaning to send this email for ages. Your program is amazing and has completely changed the way I’m able to write. I\u2019ve used\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0over the past year to script a number of documentary and narrative projects, and have been blown away by how easy\u00a0Scrivener makes it to organize my thoughts. Documentary scripts are, by their very nature, a clutter of disorganized and disparate ideas that are a challenge to wrestle into any sort of cohesive shape under the best of circumstances. Having the ability to easily organize my interview transcripts in the research folder, then being able to drag and drop soundbites into the draft of my script, has quickly become the only way I\u2019m able to work.<\/p>\n

For my narrative projects,\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0solves my most basic and frequent problem: It allows me to dive in and just start writing, without needing to read and re-read what I\u2019ve written before. Write now, organize later… what a simple and incredible idea.<\/p>\n

Thanks so much for all of your hard work on\u00a0Scrivener. The downside is that I\u2019ve run dry on some of my best excuses to procrastinate, but in the very best sense, it\u2019s just been a real eye-opener to use a tool that is so well suited to the way a writer thinks and works.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

Scrivener\u00a0revolutionized my writing life and I\u2019d be a mess without it.\u00a0Boom, Bust, Exodus<\/em>\u00a0is a collection of interwoven storylines from multiple settings in two countries that I collected in over a decade of sociological field research. It was a huge project, and it blew up Word early. When I found\u00a0Scrivener, I suddenly had a tool that not only helped me to create, but also to play with structure, to add important annotations and crazy ideas to try out, and, crucially, to organize interview transcriptions, timelines, journal and newspaper articles, and government reports\u2014and to have all of it right there, at the ready. I\u2019m a dyed-in-the-wool organizer, and\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0helped me tame this beast of a project. I now also use it for structuring presentations, radio interviews, op-eds, and short articles, including this testimonial! It is simple, intuitive, and powerful, and it made my book better than it would have been without it.

As I write these words I\u2019m looking at a real cork board attached to my office wall, with real file cards pinned to it, all connected together by lengths of differently coloured wool, and all so that I could keep track of how the plot and the characters flowed through the book I was writing at the time.

Scrivener\u00a0is the perfect tool for writing a cookbook — or, in our case, a cocktail book — especially one laced with hundreds of anecdotes, quotes, and sidebars. Working as a team, we found\u00a0Scrivener\u00a0to be an invaluable resource for dividing up work and tracking progress — allowing us to work independently from one another, easily merge parts together, and check in completed sections. Shuffling parts from here to there was a breeze, as was discarding sections to the Research folder — and resurrecting them again when needed. We truly can\u2019t imagine writing another book without using\u00a0Scrivener.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n
