Customer Reviews
Great Interviews, Great Writers, Great Tool
As a Scrivener writer, it’s delightful and inspiring to hear other writers talking about their creative process and about how they use this phenomenal writing app. Kudos!
Great find, this one
I've been using Scrivener for a couple of years now and I know I don't use all of its features. It's been great to listen to the different authors and their creative processes and how they use Scrivener. I look forward to each interview.
Wonderful!
I’ve used Scrivener for all long-form writing on a Mac for over a decade and love it. I used to read Kirk McElhearn’s columns regarding iTunes customization and now he’s writing similar advice for Scrivener. Fantastic! I discover useful information about the Scrivener app and am introduced to authors new to me. Love the interviews. Keep it coming. This is just great.
