Description To write
And write. And write. Scrivener is the ideal app for writers of all kinds, used every day by bestselling novelists, screenwriters, nonfiction writers, students, academics, lawyers, journalists, translators, and more. Scrivener won’t tell you how to write—it simply gives you everything you need to start writing and keep writing. Grow your manuscript your way Custom-built for long writing projects, Scrivener takes the fear of pages out of the way by letting you compose your text in any order, in sections as large or small as you like. Have a great idea but don’t know where it fits? Write when inspiration strikes, and find its place later.
Grow your manuscript organically, idea by idea
Whether you plan or take the plunge, Scrivener works your way: perfect every last detail before you write a word, or draft and restructure later. Or mix up your methods and do a little of both. In Scrivener, everything you write is integrated into an easy-to-use project outline. So working with an overview of your manuscript is just a click away, and turning Chapter Four into Chapter One is as simple as drag and drop. Research at your fingertips Need to reference research? In Scrivener, your reference material is always close at hand, and you can open it alongside your work. Write a description based on a photograph.
Transcribe their interview
Take notes on a PDF or web page. Or check for consistency by referencing a previous chapter alongside the one in progress. Make it public Once you’re ready to share your work with the world, compile everything into a single document to print, self-publish, or export to popular formats like Word, PDF, Final Draft, or plain text. You can even share using different formats, so you can write in your favorite font and still meet submission guidelines. Writer: Chapter 3 Writer 3 is the best version of Writer we’ve ever produced, and it’s available now. From a blank page to a book: your way Scrivener brings together everything you need to write, research, and organize long documents in one powerful app. At the center of it all is a simple ring-binder metaphor that lets you gather your material and move between parts of your manuscript, notes, and references with ease.
Built-in outlining tools let you plan everything out first or restructure it later
Break your text into manageable sections of any size and let Scrivener put them together. And as your project grows, you’ll find that Scrivener grows with it. Put the pieces together Instantly switch between editing your manuscript section by section or as a whole. Working on a long text is easier when you break it down into smaller parts, and Scrivener gives you full control over how small (or big) those parts are. Novelists can write each scene in a separate document, or entire chapters as one; these can be broken down into arguments, chapters, or paragraphs. However you slice it, Scrivener’s innovative “Scrivenings” mode lets you put the pieces together as if they were all part of a single document. Corkboard The corkboard is one of the writer’s most well-known planning tools.
Organize your draft however you like using folders and subfolders
But before Scrivener, if you moved index cards around on the board, you also had to rearrange the sections those cards represented in your manuscript to reflect your changes. In Scrivener, each section of your project is attached to a virtual index card. Scrivener’s corkboard lets you step back and work only with the synopses you’ve written on the cards—and when you move them around, you’re rearranging your manuscript at the same time. Outline Find the structure of your writing with Scrivener’s powerful outline. Like the corkboard, the outline lets you work with an overview of a chapter, a section, or even your entire manuscript—but it puts even more information at your fingertips.
