What Others Have Said
Taking advantage of Scrivener's capabilities requires an understanding its many features and how they all work together. Gwen's class does just that, as lesson by lesson you'll come to see how powerful the program is, and how you can best use it to write your book. By combining a series of videos with written exercises, along with live sessions, it's a comprehensive method.
If you feel daunted by the possibilities that Scrivener offers and don't quite know where to start, then this is the course for you! Gwen is a great teacher and really knows her stuff. She gently guides you through the main features, with plenty of hands-on help, answers to questions and feedback during the course, and the materials are yours to come back to whenever you need them. A terrific investment in your writing, whatever form that might take. Highly recommended.
Gwen breaks down her comprehensive Lesson Guide into modules that go into step-by-step detail and can be printed for those of us who need to review instructions often! It's obvious Gwen put a lot of thought into this guide and cares about sharing her knowledge with others.
