Publishing is the final area where Scrivener on the desktop really shines. This makes it so good for the academics or pastors who need to keep lots of data together and review it while writing. This also syncs with your desktop (via Dropbox)making it easy to research on the go and then get back to your writing at home or vice verse. This means you have everything relevant to your writing in one place, not in a separate app and file system.
I feel confident in saying this (and I welcome any comments that prove me wrong) but there is no other app quite like this at the moment for keeping your research with your writing. Writing is an area where Scrivener faces stiff competition but research is where Scrivener starts to pull away from the crowd.

Still, if you love markdown, you can have the publishing options convert your markdown to html, plus the presence of a typewriter mode adds the option for the text you’re working on to stay central while those old words wonder off into the distance. This adds speedy writing options while avoiding a distracting interface.
For rich text editing, there is a style icon similar to pages on iOS which access formatting. Scrivener has cleverly added some extra keyboard shortcuts which you can access at anytime to add comments, footnotes or use a variety of common punctuation symbols (sorry semi-colon. Furthermore it also need to support features like footnotes and comments. Unlike some minimal writing apps which can default to markdown (or bust!) Scrivener need rich text editing options for novel and academic writers to lay out their text in the correct style. Luckily Scrivener manages to tread the fine line between minimal and highly functional in a word processor. Obviously, writing is important for an app like Scrivener and is an area where there is a lot of competition in the iOS App Store. With that in mind were first going to look at the writing system, then the research and finally the publishing options within Scrivener. Up to this point the iOS offering for Scrivener have all been hacked together methods which only address the writing aspect of Scrivener with no access to the research or publishing tools. So with this new iOS app, it has to hold up to the previous standards and expectations set by its desktop brother as well as making the most of the tablet form factor, one which some have found very beneficial for writing. This has made it a great tool for writing longer form projects that need involve research, writing, organization and publishing.

And the ability to share your finished project via a selection of common formats including docX, PDF and ePub/mobi. The ability to easily rearrange sections of writing with separate documents within your giant project and the helpful cork board view. It does this via a variety of features and layout tools including the ability to store your research within your project file (be that a character profile, a picture for inspiration or a PDF document with important details).

When it was first released in 2006 it set out to do away with needing a host of software or a complicated file system to get your writing in order.
Scrivener by Literature and Latte is designed with novel writers in mind. With that in mind, the news that Scrivener has finally come out with an iPad app (having been working on it for many years) was joy to my ears.īut would it live up to its desktop partners great reputation or would it be another case of a lightweight companion app to a more powerful brother. However, recently I’ve been using my iPad more and more to do everything as I find it is better at doing my regular tasks. That was a long time ago now and since then I’ve used Scrivener many times for different projects. One of my first posts for ChurchMag was about how you could use Scrivener to organise your bible study notes and why this might be worth considering, especially if you might one day want to publish them.
