It's Time to Move Past
the Excuses, Overwhelm, and Fear
to Finally Learn Scrivener
Let's face it. Writing is more than simply putting words on a page. Whether it's character descriptions or key resources for blog posts, you've got lots of pieces of information to track. And what happens when you want to rearrange the order of your pages?
Since you're checking out this class, you've probably heard other writers gush about Scrivener being one of the strongest tools in a writer’s toolbox. You're hoping to join the gazillions* of writers who have become more productive and organized with their writing by using Scrivener.
And yet, Scrivener sends a great number of writers screaming away in sheer and utter panic.
It's so different
confusing weird!
It's so complicated!
It takes too much time to learn!
If you’re reading this, you’ve decided to be among Those Who Did Not Flee. Congratulations. You have a brave heart.
This class will blow those excuses out of the water and get you up and running with Scrivener.
*My estimate only. This number is in no way endorsed by the Scrivener folks.
Time to bust some myths.
True or False? Scrivener is ONLY for writers who do extensive planning and outlining. FALSE
True or False? Scrivener is ONLY for discovery/organic/seat-of-the-pants writers. FALSE
True or False? Scrivener works for ALL types of writers. TRUE
Don't Let These Excuses Stop You
From Using Scrivener
1.
Scrivener Takes Too Long to Learn!
No, it doesn't. Really.
I'll show you the five-minute setup that will jump you straight into writing.
Need more customization? The tweaks I'll show you can be applied in less than an hour.
2.
Scrivener Is Too Weird!
Yes, but weird is good. I'll give you a basic tour, plus simple definitions of those weird terms to help you feel at home.
3.
Scrivener Is Too Complicated!
Yes. And no. I'll show you the basic features you need to get started, plus how to reduce the visual clutter so you're not overwhelmed. Once you've mastered the basics, you can start exploring the more advanced features.

Three Additional Treats

Backing It All Up
DON'T LOSE WORK!
Before the class ends, I’ll also show you how to set your backup location and where to change the automatic save interval.
Because before I switched to Scrivener, I lost work. And trust me, that ain't no fun!
Q&A
EXTRA! EXTRA!
All lessons have a Comments section. That's where you get to ask me your remaining questions. Scrivener* questions, that is.
*Sorry, I'm unable to give you the formula for writing a runaway bestseller or predict the numbers for the winning lottery ticket.
Class Summary Sheet
Class Summary
FREE PDF
The class includes a free PDF summary sheet of the key points.
Refer to it whenever you have a Dark Moment and start worrying that you can’t really handle Scrivener. (Trust me, you can do it!)
Wait. Who the heck am I?
Why should you learn from me?
Oh. Right. Need to do the bio thing.
I’m Vanessa Kier, Scrivener and tech coach for writers at The Writer's Tech Stop. I also write action-packed romantic thrillers, plus the occasional Tech Talk column.
I started off using Word to write and Excel to organize my character and scene details sheets, but it got too messy for me. Next I tried several writing-specific programs, because at that time Scrivener wasn’t the robust tool it is today. But after losing work, I took another look at Scrivener. It had grown considerably, and so I switched.
I haven’t regretted a single moment.
Now, in addition to using Scrivener for both my fiction and non-fiction writing (yep, I drafted this sales copy in Scrivener), I teach Scrivener to unsuspecting brave and enterprising writers.
I firmly believe that learning Scrivener can be fun.
Or at the very least playful.
Or at the bare minimum, less stressful than having your teeth cleaned.

Don't Just Take My Word For It
I know what you’re thinking. “How can this woman possibly teach me Scrivener? I’m not at all tech minded. I’ll never learn it. She probably reads instruction manuals for fun.”
Um….no comment. [Hey, if I didn’t read those manuals, and watch the training videos, and hangout in the forums just to see what new things people are doing with Scrivener, then I’d be a less effective teacher.]
Anyway...
Here's what my students and coaching clients say about me:
"Clear and understandable."
"Vanessa teaches her Scrivener course in a clear, understandable and insightful way."
- Kirstine Call (Writer)
"Highly recommended!"
"Scrivener is a fantastic program for writing manuscripts and such but is hard to get to know. Vanessa helped me to figure out how to best use Scrivener in my writing."
- Cindy Bajema (Photographer | Writer)

Grab Your Courage with Both Hands
Make Friends with Scrivener
You can spare one hour to learn how to use Scrivener. C'mon, admit it. You spend more than an hour a week on social media or watching television, don't you? You can certainly find time to learn how to get started with such a powerful writing tool. Having all your writing, research, and miscellaneous notes at your fingertips will save you so much more than an hour.
Get your questions and concerns addressed live. Not only do you get to look over my shoulder as I set up a new project in Scrivener, but I'll answer your questions. Be specific as you like. Because I really do want you to leave the class with the skills and confidence to set up a Scrivener project of your own and start writing.
Something about your current writing process isn't working for you. Otherwise, you wouldn't be taking a look at Scrivener (and wouldn't have scrolled this far down the page). Whether you're looking for increased organization or a more robust way of tracking your writing goals, Scrivener is a tool that can work at any stage of your writing process.
Don't let your FEAR hold you back.
