About Scrivener

Scrivener is a comprehensive writing software designed for long-form projects like novels, screenplays, academic papers, and non-fiction books. It acts as a digital ring-binder, scrapbook, and typewriter, integrating all the necessary tools for writers from initial concept to final draft. It allows users to compose text in any order, break down large projects into manageable sections, and restructure them with ease using a project outline and drag-and-drop functionality. The software is built to keep all research materials, notes, and writing in one accessible place, enabling writers to work efficiently without switching between multiple applications. It supports various research formats like photos, interviews, PDFs, and web pages, which can be viewed alongside the writing. Once a project is complete, Scrivener facilitates compilation into a single document for printing, self-publishing, or export to popular formats such as Word, PDF, Final Draft, or plain text, while also allowing for different formatting for submission guidelines. It caters to a wide range of writers, including novelists, screenwriters, academics, and journalists, providing flexibility in their writing process.
