I don't know what I'd do without Scrivener! The compile feature was actually a lifesaver when querying, and agents wanted submissions formatted all kinds of different ways.

Yes! All the compile options are so overwhelming but so helpful!

I think I'm using less than 30% of its features, but I love Scrivener too, and have been using it for years. I particularly love it for all the different styles of templates that I find around the writerly webs.

Couldn’t agree more Bianca! I’ve used Scriviner for years now and love it! Have you learnt how to colour tag your scenes? You can customise tags depending on your needs. I use tags such as brainstorming, first rough, editing, final edit, done etc. all coloured tags appear in the binder. I know exactly where I am at every time I open a manuscript.

Omg I don't know if I've tried that? I've got the ones that are like 'scene' or 'chapter' and I've made my own to represent a point of view character. I definitely need to utilise these things more!

Yes! As a fellow plan but write out of order person- Scrivener seems made for me!
