At first I thought this would be overkill. Scrivener also provides templates for describing the characters and places that figure in your novel. Even this is done cleverly, as a sliding menu bar at the bottom of the screen lets you adjust the density of the background and the width of your paper.

And this is my first attempt, by the way I am a total rookie, a noob.Īt times, however, you do not want to see anything other than your text and then scrivener lets you switch to a full screen view where, apart from the text, everything else is blacked out.
These notes are handy because I keep being surprised about the number of continuity issues that arise as you start writing a novel. The one on the left of the screen lets me keep the structure of my novel in sight, a bit like a fun version of windows explorer the one on the right shows my synopsis of the scene I am developing and provides a notes section. When I work on a scene I sometimes keep two navigation panes open. The navigation pane on the left offers templates for fiction and non-fiction, scriptwriting, poetry and lyrics.

When you first fire up scrivener you see a rather modest looking workspace in which a tutorial and an extensive manual figure prominently. This review is of version 2.2 for mac, which I have run on leopard, snow leopard and lion. If you don’t want to take my word for it, you can download the trial version and judge for yourself. Only $45 US to purchase runs like a dream, backs up to dropbox. Scrivener is a sophisticated writing application that comes with a range of templates. Scrivener’s makers, the folk at Literature and Latte, describe the application as ‘a powerful content-generation tool for writers that allows you to concentrate on composing and structuring long and difficult documents.’ Scrivener used to run only on mac operating systems but they recently put out a version for windows.
No wonder their app is a joy to use.īut let’s take a step back. They understand the importance of research. They understand the balance between structure and flexibility, between detail and overview. Scrivener has been made by people who understand writing.
