Write when inspiration strikes, and find its place later
Description Write. And write. And write. Scrivener is the go-to app for writers of all kinds, used every day by successful novelists, screenwriters, nonfiction writers, students, academics, lawyers, journalists, translators, and more. Scrivener won’t tell you how to write—it’ll simply give you everything you need to start writing and keep writing. Grow your manuscript your way Tailored for long-form writing projects, Scrivener banishes page-fear by letting you compose your text in any order, in sections as big or as small as you like. Have a great idea but don’t know where it fits?
Grow your manuscript organically, idea by idea
Watch the forest or the trees Whether you plan or dive in, Scrivener works your way: work out every little detail before typing a word, or trim a draft and restructure it later. Or mix your methods and do a bit of both. In Scrivener, everything you write is integrated into an easy-to-use project structure. So working with an overview of your manuscript is always just a click away, and turning chapter four into chapter one is as simple as dragging and dropping. Research at your fingertips Need to reference research? In Scrivener, your background material is always at your fingertips, and you can open it right next to your work.

Transcribe their interview
Make notes on a PDF file or web page. Or check for consistency by referencing a previous chapter next to your current one. Spread it When you’re ready to share your work with the world, compile everything into a single document for print, self-publishing, or exporting to popular formats like Word, PDF, Final Draft, or plain text. You can even share using different formatting, so you can write in your favorite font and still meet submission guidelines. Writers: Chapter 3 Writers 3 is the best version of Writers we’ve ever made, and it’s here. From blank page to book: Your way Scrivener combines everything you need to write, research, and organize long documents in one powerful app. At its heart is a simple binder metaphor that lets you gather your material and easily flip through different parts of your manuscript, notes, and references.
And as your project grows, you’ll find Scrivener grows with it
Break your text into manageable sections of any size and let Scrivener stitch them together. Built-in outline tools let you plan everything ahead of time or restructure it later. Put it together Instantly switch between editing your manuscript one section at a time or editing it as a whole. Working on a long text is easier when you break it into smaller pieces, and Scrivener gives you complete control over how small (or large) those pieces are. Novelists can write each scene in a separate document or entire chapters as one; these can be broken down into topics or chapters or paragraphs. However you break it down, Scrivener’s innovative “Scrivenings” mode lets you put the pieces together as if they were all part of a single document. Pinboard The pinboard is one of the most familiar planning tools for writers.
Organize your draft however you like using folders and subfolders
But before Scrivener, if you moved cards around the board, you also had to reshuffle the sections those cards represented in your manuscript to reflect your changes. In Scrivener, each section of your project is attached to a virtual card. Scrivener’s pinboard lets you step back and work only with the synopses you’ve written on cards, and when you move them, you reorganize your manuscript at the same time. Outliner Find the structure of your writing with Scrivener’s powerful Outliner. Like the pinboard, the outline lets you work with an overview of a chapter, section, or even the entire manuscript, but puts even more information at your fingertips.
