Literature & Latte

“The biggest software advance for writers since the word processor.” —Michael Marshall Smith; bestselling author Typewriter. Ring-binder. Scrapbook. Scrivener combines all the writing tools you need to craft your first draft; from nascent notion to final full stop. Tailor-made for creating long manuscripts; Scrivener banishes page fright by allowing you to compose your text in any order; in sections as large or small as you like. Got a great idea but don’t know where it fits? Write when inspiration strikes and find its place later. Grow your manuscript organically; idea by idea. Whether you plan or plunge; Scrivener works your way: meticulously outline every last detail first; or hammer out a complete draft and restructure later. Or do a bit of both. All text sections in Scrivener are fully integrated with its outlining tools; so working with an overview of your manuscript is only ever a tap away; and turning Chapter Four into Chapter One is as simple as drag and drop. Need to refer to research? In Scrivener; your background material is always at hand. Write a description based on a photograph. Reference a video or PDF. Check for consistency with an earlier chapter. On the iPad; open two documents side-by-side; on the iPhone; flip between research and writing with just two taps. Once you’re ready to share your work with the world; simply compile everything into a single document for printing; or export to popular formats such as Word; PDF; Final Draft or plain text. You can even share using different formatting; so that you can write in your favorite font and still keep your editor happy.
