\"\"<\/a>I’m excited to present a special webinar training for fiction writers by Scrivener expert, friend, and fellow novelist, Vanessa Kier.<\/p>\n

In her own words:<\/strong><\/p>\n

You’re looking for a better way to write your novel.<\/p>\n

You want to write your novel, but it\u2019s hard to keep track of all your notes.<\/p>\n

Maybe you have separate documents in Word for your manuscript, for your character questionnaire, and for your plot notes.<\/p>\n

Perhaps your scene analysis chart is in Excel and your research documents are PDFs.<\/p>\n

And then there are those image files in various folders on your computer that aren’t connected to your notes.<\/p>\n

It’s driving you crazy to jump between the various programs.<\/p>\n

Yet you\u2019re afraid of losing precious writing time while you learn another program.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, you’re wasting time trying to figure out where you put a crucial piece of information. Or did you forget where you put that idea and can only rely on your fuzzy memory?<\/p>\n

(Sorry, Scrivener can’t help with that last bit. Though I’m not the only writer who wishes Scrivener had a way to download directly from our brain!)<\/p>\n

What if you had a personal organizational superhero<\/strong> so you wouldn\u2019t have to jump around between programs searching for the information that you absolutely MUST have to complete your next bit of writing?<\/p>\n

That’s what Scrivener was created for!<\/p>\n

So that you can write your book with all your notes, charts, and images in one place.<\/p>\n

Whether you’re an outliner who wants to have your scene-by-scene plan open in a second pane as you write or you’re a completely freeform writer who wants the freedom to jump between non-consecutive scenes as you follow your muse, Scrivener allows you to work on your book in the way that works best for you.<\/p>\n

Contrary to popular belief, getting started with Scrivener doesn\u2019t take hours or require an advanced degree.<\/p>\n

Keep reading if you want to learn how to start your novel in Scrivener without pulling out your hair in frustration or losing days of writing time!<\/p>\n

How do I know?<\/h2>\n

Because when I started writing I kept all my story notes in Word, Excel, and PDFs. Everything was so messy.<\/p>\n

It drove me nuts. Then I tried several writing-specific programs, but as my writing process evolved none of them could keep up with my needs. Then glitches in one of the programs caused me to lose some of my writing.<\/p>\n

I wasted so much time and was completely frustrated. I wanted to work on my book but felt stymied at every turn.<\/p>\n

I switched to Scrivener and I haven\u2019t regretted a single moment.<\/p>\n

With Scrivener, all my critical information is right there at my fingertips. Scrivener keeps me organized and gives me more time to write, whether I\u2019m seat-of-the-pants writing or *cough* trying to follow an outline.<\/p>\n

In addition to using Scrivener for both my fiction and non-fiction writing (yep, I drafted this sales copy in Scrivener), I teach Scrivener.<\/p>\n

Because I used several other writing programs before switching to Scrivener, I understand how overwhelming Scrivener can seem at first glance.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m here to walk you through five simple steps that will get you comfortable with Scrivener so you can get back to writing.<\/p>\n

Hello! I\u2019m Vanessa Kier, novelist, and Scrivener and tech coach for writers at The Writer’s Tech Stop.<\/em><\/h3>\n

I firmly believe that learning Scrivener can be fun, especially when the steps are delivered in bite-sized pieces and manageable chunks.<\/p>\n

I write action-packed romantic thrillers and have written four of my novels using Scrivener.<\/p>\n

If you’re ready to step into a writing program that’s flexible enough to adapt to your needs, that can accommodate both the intensely organized and the proudly unorganized writer then join us for this special training:<\/p>\n
