Description

Important:  This is an Intermediate Scrivener course.  Although someone new to Scrivener can learn how to use Scrivener from this course, it assumes some basic knowledge of things like creating a Scrivener Project file, creating folders and files, navigating in a Scrivener project, etc.


Save Time & Frustration Writing your Book by Easily Creating, Referencing & Tracking Character Information in Scrivener

The Character Worksheets included in Scrivener's Novel Template are very basic and static--something that you could do in any Word Processing software; but with Scrivener's ability to break up into relevant chunks, reorganize, track, associate, and group into collections--character profile information can be so much more dynamic and useful.

This course takes advantage of Scrivener 3's Bookmarks, Keywords,  Labels, and Quick Reference Panels.  Keywords and Labels apply to all versions of Scrivener including Scrivener for Windows.  Quick Reference Panels are available in Scrivener 2 and 3 and Bookmarks is a new feature in Scrivener 3.

Are you a Scrivener for Windows user and feeling left out?

If you have Scrivener for Windows, download the Scrivener 3 for Windows Beta version.  It still has a few things missing and certain things aren't working exactly the way they will be, but everything you are learning in this course is available in the Beta version. The link to the download will be included in the Bonus Section at the end of the class. 

THIS IS A WORKSHOP—Important to Apply to a real project

This isn’t a lecture course that you just watch through.  It is important to apply it to a current, real writing project as you follow along in the course.  I would encourage you to do all of the Assignments throughout the course and submit them for review by your fellow classmates.  If you have any questions, be sure to ask them in the Q & A forum.  

Who this course is for:

  • Beginner through Experienced Scrivener Users
  • Novelists and Short Story Writers
  • Screenplay & TV Scriptwriters
  • Playwrights
