Scrivener 101

Have you downloaded Scrivener and are overwhelmed by all it can do? Never fear! We will go over the basics of using this robust novel-writing software including but not limited to split-screen writing, Revision Mode, organizing with notecards, and the uses of the Inspector.

This class is aimed at Mac users as Scrivener was designed for Macs. PC users are welcome, but please note that the software is slightly different and sometimes more limited. Please have Scrivener downloaded to your laptop before class.

All Classes listed on the Loft website take place in Central Time.
