Scrivener 3

Fall in love with writing all over again

- Carrie Marshall

Scrivener is an app for writers who need to write big things – say, dissertations or novels. It’s not just a manuscript editor, although it’s a good one. It’s not just a publishing tool, although it’s good at that too. And it’s not just a place to store your research, although it’s damn good at that as well. It’s a writing companion that’s with you from the first spark of an idea to the final edit.

We’d used Scrivener 2 to publish a novel, so decided to give Scrivener 3 something even more meaty: 107,422 words of non-fiction across 50 chapters, hundreds of footnotes and gigabytes of background, and a brand-new project that meant collating research and testing different structures.
