Scrivener For Windows
Scrivener For Windows: At last, after many years being begged and cajoled and
pleaded with, Literature and Latte have produced Scrivener for Windows!
Scrivener for Macs was released in January 2007 and until this time Scrivener has been Mac-only. PC
users could only look with envy at all the smug Mac users praising Scrivener for Macs. But that's all about to
change. The Windows version of Scrivener is coming. It will be officially released in 2011, but if you're
conscientious about backing up and are happy to test software that's still in development, you can download the
beta version from here.
When Scrivener for Windows goes on sale it will cost $40 for the regular licence and $35 for the
education licence. Scrivener for Windows will run on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
Anyone who participated in NaNoWriMo last year and achieved their 50,000 words (and had them
validated) will get a 50% discount coupon which they will be able to use when Scrivener for Windows is
released.
Important Note About the Beta Version of
Scrivener for Windows:
Literature & Latte say: "For those who have never used a beta before, a beta release is an early version that
is mostly feature-complete but which hasn't been extensively tested in the "real world" yet. This means that there
will be bugs we haven't found and it may crash occasionally. The idea of a public beta is that users who are
intrepid and who don't mind putting up with bugs can use it early to help us find the worst problems before it goes
on sale to a wider user-base. Obviously therefore you should only use the beta if you are happy to put up with
problems, back up regularly, and not shout at us when things go wrong - but there will be free copies for those who
really spend time or effort in helping us track down significant or tricky bugs."
You can buy an e-book for only $5.99 called
Writing a Novel with Scrivener . The bestselling author David Hewson, creator of the successful Nic
Costa series, offers a personal, highly-focussed guide to using this powerful application to create a
novel.
Hewson, a Scrivener user for years who's written five of his popular novels in the
app, takes users through the basic processes of structuring a full-length novel, writing and developing the story,
then delivering it either as a manuscript for an agent or publisher or as an ebook direct to Kindle or
iBook.
Alongside the practical advice, he offers a working novelist's insight into the
process of writing popular fiction. And this book is, of course, created entirely within Scrivener itself, from
development through to publication on Kindle, a process followed in detail in the book.
