Unless it's got better Scrivener is pretty awful though - bought it for my first book and gave up, both books I've written were written with other tools

- sien 6y agoWhat did you use instead?
- youngtaff 6y agoOne was in asciidoc (the publisher's tool of choice), the other was in pages (only a 10,000 word book) Working draft for current one is in Ulysses but I’m not feeling it ATM so might switch They're technical books rather than novels so although I prefer markdown I find it doesn't quite stretch far enough for me
- dbspin 6y agoInteresting, I've written two novels and over a dozen radio drama series in Scrivener. Currently using it to finish first draft on a spec film script. It's pretty fantastic. Interested to hear why it didn't work for you - especially if the alternative is word. Cross platform support (including iPad), saving direct to dropbox, full screen distraction free mode, easy sorting of chapters / scenes, rapid offline export to PDF (unlike say Celtex). Scrivener just blows everything else I've used to write out of the water.
