Scrivener: Top Writing Software for Mac Users
So…What is it?
“Scrivener is a word processor and project management tool created specifically for writers of long texts such as novels and research papers. It won’t try to tell you how to write – it just makes all the tools you have scattered around your desk available in one application.”
Created by a 2-man team based in Truro in Cornwall, England, this duo has created a robust, intuitive program that eases the writing process for novices and seasoned professionals more…




I recently purchased Scrivener. I have only good things to say about it, from the 30 free trial (and the days don’t have to be consecutive), to the low cost (only $40 when I purchased it), to how much easier it has made organizing the massive collection of files that is my Work in Progress.
There are some really neat features, including a cork-board kind of window that lets you see your story elements and move them around, and hyper-linking notes that help you keep things connected, even when they don’t need to be in the main narrative.
If you have a Mac, and are looking for more than just a word processor, I highly recommend downloading the free trial, it is definitely worth a look.
