Class Description
You've heard about Scrivener, the program that helps writers get organized. Maybe you've even downloaded the free trial and poked around before getting overwhelmed by all the bells and whistles. Or, you're already using it, but have no idea which tools are best for your project. This class is for you!
Whether you're just starting out on a book-length work or you're deep into your twentieth revision, Scrivener can help you organize your thoughts, improve your writing process, and finish your manuscript. In this seminar you will learn the basics of Scrivener and how to customize them for your specific process and writing project. We'll discuss each other's projects and explore what features of Scrivener are best suited to them, and look at tips and tricks for using those tools to their fullest potential. You will leave with a fuller understanding of what tools are best for your project and a get the most out of your writing.
Students should bring a laptop and download a free trial of Scrivener before class. Best of all, students in this class will also receive a 20% discount on Scrivener software at the end of class!

Zoom Participation:
In our experience, the intimate nature of a writing workshop benefits from on-camera participation. Students are of course welcome to turn their camera off whenever they need to, but it is a community norm for cameras to be on most of the time. You can learn more about using Zoom here.
Zoom Accessibility:
You can enable closed captioning at any time during the meeting by clicking the CC button at the bottom of the screen. If you'd like to access the transcript after class, please make sure to let your instructor ahead of time that you'd like a copy.
