Is a powerful content-generation tool for writers that allows you to concentrate on composing and structuring long and difficult documents. While it gives you complete control of the formatting, its focus is on helping you get to the end of that awkward first draft.Last I checkedScrivener 2.0 for Mac OS is $45 (Edu $38.25)Scrivener for Windows if $40 (Edu $35)It Comes with a free 30-day trail.

Scrivener Novel Templates
What this means is that if you open Scrivener 3 times a week, you get 10 weeks of using it for free. This is nice and you can certainly decide if the application is worth the money to you in this amount of time.Scrivener has lots of really useful features that I will get into below, but first, I think it would be good to show you the Getting Started screencast made by the developer. This is probably the best way to show you the power of Scrivener as a long-form writing tool.Unfortunately though, the developer has not allowed the ability to embed the video here, so you will have to open this up in another tab or window.
So now go watch the video linked below. I’ll wait here.Welcome back. Hopefully you now see why Scrivener is hands down the best software to use to write your thesis. It allows you a lot of flexibility to break your content down into manageable chunks and reorganize as needed easily without doing a lot of copy and paste action.
It also allows you to easily begin working from wherever you are in the process, importing previously written documents, making notes on sections not at the forefront of your current focus, and allowing you to focus on the writing knowing that it can compile your document to fix formatting as you go. Setting-up Scrivener: Front MatterTo start setting up Scrivener for your thesis document, you will want to start with the “NON-FICTION WITH SUB-HEADS” template rather than the “BLANK” template used in the video. This comes with a couple of nice features built in so that you do not have to figure out how to set these up.
First, it comes with this document in it that explains a lot about using the template. Read it.The most notable feature of this template is the default “ENDNOTES” page. You can rename this Bibliography. Then as you write, you can easily attach a footnote to the in text citations – (Tippery, 2012) – that then includes your full MLA or APA citation. Upon Compiling a draft, all your relevant citations will now appear on this page. At the end of your writing process, you will have to manually put these in Alphabetic Order because they will appear in order of usage, but this is a relatively small task for the final version.Next you will want to create a new folder.
Love Scrivener? This insanely comprehensive word processor, designed to help authors organize all their writing notes and files in one place, is arguably the single best digital tool for writers ever created. These days, I use it exclusively for my fiction (buh-bye, Word), and it is constantly helping me refine my approach to writing. This is why I wanted to share with you a free Scrivener template, based on my own process.A few years ago, reader Stuart Norfolk, from England, put together a great Scrivener template, based on my books. At the time, I was just getting started using the program myself and didn’t have much input to add to the template. Now that I’ve used Scrivener to create two novels, this feels like the perfect time to update his template with not only important info from my book, but also the folder system I use for keeping track of all my notes.

You will be added to my mailing list and redirected to the download page (scroll to the bottom of the page to find the template). After downloading the template onto your computer, make sure you copy/paste the files out of the zipped folder onto your computer before trying to open the template in Scrivener. Otherwise, the program won’t recognize the template has been installed.

How to Use Your Free Scrivener TemplateWhen you first open the template, you’ll see a number of folders. Those at the top will walk you through creating your outline and other preparatory stages, including character development and worldbuilding (although you can find more comprehensive help with this in the ).From the Manuscript folder down, you’ll find the exact set-up I use when organizing and writing my own stories in Scrivener.The template is designed for you to be able to work your way down from the top folder, intuitively. Sometimes, questions are offered to help you start brainstorming. Other times, you’ll find instructions with suggestions for how to use various sections.Ultimately, this is only intended as a guide, both to show you how I work and to give you ideas for adding to or streamlining your own process. Adapt it to your own needs by deleting what doesn’t work and brainstorming new additions.Give it a try! If you haven’t yet tried Scrivener, the and offers a free 30-day trial.
Wordplayers, tell me your opinion! What does your standard Scrivener template look like for writing your fiction? Tell me in the comments! Hi Kate!I watched the webinar this morning and my mind is officially blown! Is the Scrivener program really just $40 right now??Also, I am debating about the bonuses; another $200 is tight right now, but I would really love the Learn Scrivener Fast series. Is there any way I can still purchase it in two weeks?My third question is, I currently work in iBooks author.
I noticed during the demo that you can export to this, but can you import from it? IBooks works in chapters automatically and I’m wondering if I’ll have to copy and paste each chapter or will it just flow in as one doc?Thank you so much for you time! I’ve already downloaded a few of your books and the template. Really looking forward to working with Scrivener and learning more, and following you!Cheers,Jennefer. I can’t organize so your template is fantastic.
I’m a little confused about the manuscript section thougham I only supposed to write in the notecards you put down, or am I supposed to make my own notecards for other scenes within the structural beats?Also, how would you suggest going about the whole Normal World vs. Story World thing for a contemporary where the characters don’t physically leave their home area? I find the concept intuitive for sci-fi, fantasy, and contemporaries where the characters travel around, but less so for stories where they don’t.Thanks! Any insights on how to approach rewriting my Scratch Draft (Scrivener – 95k words) toward a much-learned-along-the-way official FIRST DRAFT?? After a Full Manuscript Snapshotshould I 1) read & make project notes into the Old draft? New draft then??
(since there will be many, many changes) copy/paste scene by scene? OR type ‘fresh’ into a new project file making changes along the way?PS when /how/why do you break by beats, rather than scenes/sketches/sequels/etc?YOUR BOOKS (every single one) have carried me through these many years. This is my sixth attempt at a novel and the first one I feel where it’s all coming together. My learning curve w/Scrivener on this one is another fear factor for the rewrite. THank you for all your many works.
