Scrivener

Scrivener is a software developed by StackSocial.  It is for people who write books, screenplays and journalism articles.  Scrivener allows the writer to add photos, "note cards" (on a virtual "corkboard"), thoughts and outlines, then organize this information into a cohesive whole.

Features:

• Templates for screenplays, fiction novels, non-fiction books
• Keep research in Scrivener.  This will include PDFs, GIFs, JPGs, sound files, etc. all in one program
• Virtual corkboard--keep note cards on the corkboard with ideas to use later
• Export your work to a final draft program-standard screenwriting programs, Word for books, HTML, and so on

Scrivener is the program for authors and anyone who writes long-form material.  Scrivener helps authors outline, set tasks, check progress.  This is a program that allows writers to put ideas in that are not yet wholly formed, then refer to those ideas later to be discarded or included in the final project.  Scrivener allows the writer to look at material side-by-side with the writing (no need to click back and forth while writing).  Scrivener is easier to use than other programs because it looks like a typical word processing program.  It does come with a long tutorial;  the writer does participate in working with the program while learning how to use it.  Writers do not have to go through the entire tutorial before creating a document in Scrivener.  Writers can easily change font and format to comply with the requirements of the customer.  Scrivener will also help writers keep in the style required;  APA style, Chicago Manual style, and others.

Scrivener allows writers to add content as they think of it, in multiple media, and then organize the ideas and content into a cohesive document
