It’s designed to work in the innumerable different ways in which real writers work, whether they are academics, novelists, journalists or non-fiction authors. But because of that flexibility, it’s also big and complex. Many writers know it could help them, but feel daunted or impatient at getting to grips with it, while others use some of its features, but know they’re not exploiting it to the full.

Emma is not a techno geek, but she is a working writer who has used Scrivener for Windows for many years. In this practical, interactive tutorial, she will help you understand the core principles of how Scrivener works, and then support you through a series of exercises as you try your hand at it, and begin to get a feel for how to make it work for your own, individual writing process. There will be plenty of time to share experience and ask questions.

Scrivener is available for Windows, Mac and iOS from Literature and Latte, and the differences between the versions are minor. If you don’t already own Scrivener, to take part in the tutorial you will need to download in advance L&L’s free, fully-featured 30-day (non-consecutive) trial version.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ultimate_spacer height=”1″ height_on_tabs=”20″ height_on_tabs_portrait=”20″
