What Others Have Said
Brilliant!!
By: Clodagh Murphy
I've had Scrivener for quite a while, but have never really got to grips with it and all its functionality. I've watched tutorials and read manuals, but could never quite get my head around it. This course has changed all that! It explains everything so clearly, and I finally feel like I understand Scrivener and will be able to use it to its full potential. It will transform my writing life, and I can't wait to set up my new projects. Thanks, Gwen!
Well Worth It
By: Jennifer Cary
Want to thank you, Gwen, for making this easy to follow in small bites. I had taken the complete tutorial Scrivener prvided when I downloaded the program but felt like I wasn't utilizing all the capatilities I could. Now I am more confident and have already tried out several new things. I also printed out all the PDF Cheat Sheets and am making a binder for easy access--I'm old and the brain just can't hold much more. Thank you so much. this was so worth it!
Scrivener 1 for Windows: The Basics and Beyond
By: BJ Hester
This course was well worth the money spent, and the time invested to complete it. Very thorough. I recommend it highly.
Scrivener by Gwen
By: Lison
I appreciated the scrivener's class by Gwen because they are clear, easy to follow, either written or by videos, wich serves me well because I like as much to read the rules than to follow them on a screen. And most of all, Gwen is always there to help you solve a problem. Always...
Thank you Gwen, Lison Dubreuil
