Scrivener

Scrivener enables authors to not only write full manuscripts but also to organize notes, concepts, research, and whole documents for easy access and reference. It is tailor-made for long manuscripts and makes it easy to move pages, scenes and chapters around.

It is the go-to app for writers of all kinds, used by best-selling novelists, screenwriters, non-fiction writers, students, academics, lawyers, journalists, translators and more.

Scrivener features

• Create each scene as a different file and Scrivener stitches them together automatically when you press publish.
• Move scenes and chapters around easily by dragging and dropping
• Create templates for manuscripts so you don’t have to repeat long, tedious tasks.
• Create character sketches and place descriptions and store them in an easily accessible location. These are accessible without leaving your Scrivener document.
• Import all your research into Scrivener; text files, PDFs, images, links to websites and have it right there for easy reference.
• Set project targets and see how far you are from finishing your manuscript.
• Set daily targets.
• Save different versions of scenes and chapters (as many as you like) so you can always roll back.
• Make notes on each scene, chapter or the whole manuscript that you can view easily.
• See two different scenes or pages side by side so you can write without having to constantly refer to another file to be reminded of earlier events.
• Automated backups.
• Write on the go with a Scrivener app for mobile.
• And much more…
