It's rare that a piece of software nails it so perfectly.

I think it's worth at least 10 and probably 20 times that. I also wrote an extensive blog post about Scrivener many moons ago which you can read here.īut what does that have to do with my Mac? Well, there are two versions of Scrivener and while the PC version is great.and something I used for years, the Mac version is even better, and it gave me an excuse to upgrade my writing system to a Mac.Īt just $45, Scrivener is the best bang for the buck any author. In fact, it takes up a fair amount of the Making of the Death of Dulgath ebook and if you read that story, you can get the ebook for free by emailing me and putting "Making of The Death of Dulgath in the subject line.

After writing a text, the user may export it for final formatting to a standard word processor, screenwriting software, desktop publishing software, or TeX.įor me, Scrivener helps me write in more ways than I could explain in a short blog post. Scrivener offers templates for screenplays, fiction, and non-fiction manuscripts.

This allows the user to organize notes, concepts, research and whole documents for easy access and reference (documents including rich text, images, PDF, audio, video, web pages, etc.). Scrivener provides a management system for documents, notes and metadata. Scrivener (/ˈskrɪvənər/) is a word-processing program and outliner designed for authors. What is Scrivener? Well here's what Wikipedia says: I have an iWatch, and I'm trying to convince Robin that she needs the upgraded model for Christmas.īut it's not because of my love for all things Apple that I write on a Mac, I bought it to run exactly one piece of software, and that is Scrivener. Oh, we have two MacBook Air laptops (one for me and one for Robin). At least she's agreed to use the iTouch we bought and replaced a few times). I've gotten iPhones for myself, my wife, and all but one of my children (no, I don't love her any less, she just doesn't want an iPhone-go figure. I read my paper on an iPad in the morning.

Anyone who knows me is aware that I'm pretty much an Apple fanatic. If you saw yesterday's post, you probably noticed I write on a Mac.
