Introduction to Scrivener: Word Processing Software Meets Project Management (Kristie Smeltzer)

This seminar will meet in person at WriterHouse for 1 session on Saturday, Oct. 11th from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. 

Description:

Scrivener software can be a book-altering tool for writers, but many find the learning curve to implement it into their practice intimidating. Join us for a high-level overview of Scrivener’s functionality followed by real-life examples of how it may be used to organize book-length writing projects, such as novels and memoirs.

This hands-on seminar will provide participants the opportunity to apply concepts immediately in Scrivener. Explore features and practice setting up projects with the support of an experienced user on hand to answer your questions and make suggestions to help you get the most out of the tool’s functionality.

This seminar is a good fit for those who have already started with Scrivener or are interested in trying it. The software is useful to anyone working on a book-length manuscript. Participants will be asked to download the Scrivener free-trial or buy the software prior to the seminar.
