Have you tried Scrivener, the writing software meant to help writers organize their manuscripts or writing projects, but found yourself overwhelmed by it? This webinar is for you! Whether you’re just starting out on a book-length work or you’re deep into your twentieth revision, Scrivener can help you organize your thoughts, improve your writing process, and finish your manuscript. In this webinar you will learn the basics of Scrivener: the binder, and how to organize your scenes and chapters, research, and other necessities, as well as an introduction to the editor and some of the tools that will help you keep track of your writing. You will leave the class with a better understanding of how to use Scrivener for your particular project, and the tools to get started.
Note: if you don’t have Scrivener, please download a free trial before class begins. Students will need basic computer skills, but do not need to have an understanding of Scrivener itself. Please keep in mind that the instructor uses the Mac version of Scrivener, so if you are a Windows user some features may be different (though we will also go over some of those basic differences in class, to keep you from getting lost).
