In this hands-on class, instructor Katherine Catmull—who has used Scrivener for nine years to write three novels, numerous plays, and many other large projects—will guide you through the basics of Scrivener. Participants will leave with everything they need to know to start using Scrivener for their own writing.
All students will need to bring a laptop with a copy of Scrivener installed (
Scrivener offers a free 30-day trial, so no need to purchase it yet). Note: While the Windows and Mac versions of Scrivener have most of the same features, there are a few differences. The instructor will be using Scrivener for Mac.
