Scrivener | Everything you Need to Know from Idea to Launch

Although this course is very thorough it's not that hard — In only four hours you could be using Scrivener like a pro.

Imagine if you could use Scrivener writing software like a seasoned professional, knowing the keyboard shortcuts, what the tools on the toolbar do; flying through the application and creating amazing books, screenplays, blog posts and other creative projects without being distracted by having to look up how to use a feature every time you want to use it.

In the back of your mind you know that the Scrivener software you bought is going to simplify your writing process and help you become more productive. You have heard about the cool split screen views, virtual cork boards and the collections feature where you can process all instances of a document at once even though you have it in several different collections.

But best of all you've heard that you can export your content to multiple platforms without having to change the original draft document! Imagine the time you are going to save. Not to mention that if you can format your own work for export you will no longer be held hostage to the whims and schedules of formatting and IT people.

The problem is, before you can do all that, you have to learn how to use the Scrivener software.

If you are a visual learner like me, the quickest way to learn is to watch a step by step video of how the software works, with plenty of examples, where the regions of the interface are instantly recognizable and arrows point directly at the buttons mentioned in the transcript.
