Description

(This course covers both Windows and Mac versions of Scrivener from before Scrivener 3.)


Do you want to know how to use Scrivener to fulfill your writing dreams? Well Scrivener is not nearly as hard to learn as you have been lead to believe. I highly recommend binge watching the first four hours so that you have a good understanding of what Scrivener is capable of.


The first section will take you on a complete walkthrough of how Scrivener works with plenty of real examples, a thorough explanation of the regions of the user interface and arrows pointing directly at the buttons mentioned in the transcript making it easy to find them.


Once you know the basics you can go back, dig in to the Scrivener features that suit your writing style best and start creating your awesome content. If you forget how to use a Scrivener feature you can pop back and watch its clearly labeled lecture again.


Once your project is underway you can go on to investigate some really cool Scrivener features that you don't necessarily need — but are fun to use — like customizing your work spaces, importing from mind map software or backing up and storing your projects to Dropbox in the cloud.


Here's what an early reviewer had to say:


Melinda Kraft —
"I learned several new things that are already helping me to make my project better organized and efficient and has given me some ideas on how I can be more creative in the process. I've watched a lot of online training videos, and Karen's is among the best. She clearly illustrates the differences between Windows and Mac versions. And where she elects to save information for later in the course, or leave it out altogether, she tells you why. Highly recommended!"


Who this course is for:
Anyone wishing to learn how to use Scrivener writing software to write:
A novel or a series, non fiction books, a dissertation or a research proposal
Any kind of transcript for movies, gaming development or even their own videos that they plan to use here on Udemy or share to social media sites
And of course anyone gathering research and writing a blog
Also useful for Internet Marketers who want to organize their whole campaign from sales letters to scheduled emails

What you'll learn

How to open a project and customize your Scrivener workspaces.

Toggle between Scrivener’s normal Text Editing Mode, Cork Board Mode and Outlining Mode and how to use each of them as well as how to use Scrivener’s distraction free Full Screen Mode.

Split your Scrivener screen to have two documents or two versions of the same document open at once.

Manage your files and folders, whether you are starting from scratch in Scrivener or want to import your content from another writing application pre-sorted into chapters or sections.

Make use of Scrivener’s editing tools like collections and snapshots (which takes a snap shot of the current state of a document so that you can revert to it if you don’t like your subsequent edits).

Compile your work for export to your agent, as a paperback or as an eBook right inside your Scrivener software.

How to download some tools so that you can preview your content before you send it out.

Customize your visual preferences for the Scrivener user interface as well as the cork board feature
