Here's why learning Scrivener will make your writing life so much easier!

  • Scrivener is wonderful because it enables you to have all your drafts, revisions, research, resources, character information, supporting archived website URLs, plot templates and so much more in one handy place. It enables you to split your screen to see earlier and later drafts at the same time and mark each version of your manuscript for what draft it is.
  • Scrivener supplies pre-filled prompt-filled character and setting templates or you can create your own easily, including plot templates.
  • You can store images of character models and setting ideas in folders here and rearrange things effortlessly. Chips enable you to visually code and see what characters appear in each scene or for showing plot points like red herrings that build the tension. A quick glimpse at your character cards will show if they’ve been missing from the action for awhile or if they are too minor and should perhaps be cut.
  • You can import your manuscripts from Word into Scrivener, use Scrivener to make them magic and then export them back out to Word.
  • Synopsis cards – The high tech version of old style plotting cards, allows you to move your scenes around with a flick of the wrist and then compile each version you might want to make into it’s own synopsis sheet.

In other words, Scrivener makes it incredibly easy to write stories for all age levels, especially novels, and keep track of everything in an easy, intuitive and organized way.
Now you may not believe us, but here's an awesome testimonial for why Scrivener rocks from Christine Taylor-Butler, an award-winning author of over sixty-five books. If you won't take our word for it, take hers!

So, What Does Scrivener Have to Offer You?

  • By utilizing this feature rich software, you'll find new ways to grow as a writer whether you're a plotter or a pantser.
  • Before long you'll be more than just comfortable with Scrivener-you'll take your creative process to a whole new level.
  • Searching for different versions or ideas will be a thing of the past.
  • These are just some of the reasons why learning this software has been described as, "the answer to a writer's prayers," hence the happy whale!

Testimonials from the Scrivener website

“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.”— Sheila O’Flanagan, best-selling author of The Perfect Man, Someone Special, Bad Behaviour, Anyone But Him, How Will I Know? and Isobel's Wedding, amongst many others.

“For the past decade, I’ve been writing comic strips and comic books using MS Word — the typewriter equivalent for millennials. I pushed forward with the thought process: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Yet, I always felt there were ways I could be working more efficiently. Finally, I picked up Scrivener and haven’t looked back since. Scrivener is made for me. It does everything I want, and showed me how to do things I need. It’s changed my entire workflow for the better, and has me thinking about stories in a whole new way.

For comic strip or comic book writers, I couldn’t even begin to recommend Scrivener enough. I suppose I’ll try, though.” — Ryan Sohmer, writer of Least I Could Do, Looking For Group, The Bear, Gutters and plenty more.
