Great Tool
By: PeterKPitsch

Covered all basic stuff. Clear and Concise. I found the format very useful: first read and then watch the video. I found I was remembering the content much better.

Hi, Gwen I enjoyed so much your teaching and what I learned that I have returned to the course a second run-through. Thank you for making this free and happy return possible. Cheers Robert Cowin

Great for Beginners
By: pollyseven

This is a great course for beginners, and then some. I took this course after writing my third novel in Scrivener without any lessons. Even though I'd been using the program for quite some time, I found this course hugely helpful, in honing my Scrivener skills at the basic level. I'd recommend this for anyone with doubts about their moves in Scrivener.

Detailed, clear, and thoughtfully planned
By: Wendy LaCapra

This course was thorough and thoughtfully planned. I'd been using Scrivener for several months before taking the course but the course material opened up features & uses that are already transforming not only how I use Scrivener, but also how I write.
