Course Overview
If You are Writing a Book You Should be Using Scrivener - It's Time to Unlock The Power Of Your Book Writing Software
***** Last UPDATED in November 2017 *****
Scrivener Simplified is a course for self-published authors, which will show you how to get the most out of the powerful writing tool that is Scrivener.
Scrivener is the one software program that I use every single day, in all aspects of my writing, and I have no doubt whatsoever that it has played a huge role in me becoming a more productive writer.
Since using Scrivener properly, I have written regularly, I have written quickly and I have written with purpose. Now it is time that you do the same.
But a word of warning. This is not your run-of-the-mill basic course, where you will be spoon-fed at every turn on how to use each and every feature of Scrivener. There are some excellent beginner courses out there and indeed Scrivener’s own tutorials may suffice to get you up and running and familiar with the basics of the software.
Learn how to use the industry-leading book writing software correctly
Instead, this course is an over-the-shoulder look at how Scrivener has become an integral part of MY OWN writing process. Within the course, I will show you how you can use Scrivener:
- In the RESEARCHING of your book
- In the OUTLINING of your book
- In the WRITING of your book
- In the REWRITING and EDITING of your book
- In the PROMOTING of your book (through the setting up of your book’s Front and Back Matter)
- In the COMPILING of your book into different eBook formats
Don't make the same mistake I made
I am happy to say that I was an early adopter of Scrivener. Unfortunately, despite making a financial investment in buying the software, I did not then follow this up with making a time investment to learn how to use it properly.
For far too long I merely used Scrivener like a fancy word processor, which was such a waste. Please don't make the same mistake I made. Enrol in this course today.
By the end of the course, you will become a more productive writer by unlocking the power of the incredible writing software that is Scrivener.

This was my first course regarding Scrivener and I thought it was a good introduction. The sessions were adequately spaced and the tutor clear in his delivery. Would recommend for absolute beginners like myself.

Great course if your goal is to write and self-publish a lot of eBooks. I justs want to get my one book published in print (and maybe eBook). Still, some very good relevant information on how to use Scrivener to your advantage

It seemed like a slow start to the substance, so I originally gave only a 3 star. But it picked up in section 3 and I learned a lot. The instructor is knowledgeable and shows exactly where things are within Scrivener with each lecture. He goes as a slow enough pace to keep up with all of the information he provides.

Excellent course. I have learned what I needed to start working with Scrivener. As a plus, I have found many tips on writing that go beyond the mere tutorial of the software.
