In fact, back in August, 2011 even though I had never used the software, I had author Austin Briggs write a blog post about just how great Scrivener is for writers.Įventually I downloaded the program when I realized it cost $45, much less than I would have expected from all the talk. No matter how you write or what you use to write, remember it’s about the act of getting the words out.It must have been a couple of years ago that I started hearing about this program with the funny name: Scrivener from somebody called Literature and Latte. Once the trial dialogue box opens, select “Upgrade from an older version.” Enter your email address to check for your discount. After downloading, you can check for your discounted upgrade by opening the new version. Scrivener 3 is available for download directly from the Literature and Latte website. If you purchased it before November 2017, you still qualify for a 49% discount on the normal $49 price. If you purchased Scrivener 1 for Windows on or after November 2017, you can upgrade for free. Previous purchasers should have received an email about an upgrade.
And while the composition mode can remove distractions, it might not be enough for you. While there are ways you can use Scrivener simply, there are a lot of options and features, which may be overwhelming for some. Of course, this software might not be for everyone. Compile and export your story in multiple formats.Take snapshots to save previous revisions.Visualize your story with the corkboard or outliner modes.Use composition mode for less distraction.Add comments, revision notes, or questions in the inspector sidebar.Use the split screen to work on multiple files at once (or have notes open while writing in the other).Move chapters around easily with the corkboard.Keep track of research, make notes, and write all in one place.Long have writers shouted the usefulness of Scrivener, so let me summarize some of the great features. Project Notes moved when opening an old file. However, they do offer to make a backup copy of the original file. Note that if you open one of your old files in the new version, you will get a notice about project notes being moved. Original Scriver 1 Layout Scrivener 3 Layout Improved project notes with the new bookmarks tool.Custom pop-up lists, checkboxes, and date fields.The addition of a styles system means it’s much easier (and appealing) to format. The design has been streamlined and is more modern. The most noticable difference is the user interface. Windows users jumped version 2 thanks to the long development process, so don’t worry about having missed an update. Scrivener 3 is finally released on Windows! Scrivener 1 vs. Mac users have been enjoying the more streamlined and modern version 3 since 2017. Writers have been using Scrivener for years.
