Software and Apps
Scrivener
I’ve been using Scrivener for Mac since 2009 and it’s a staple for my fiction writing life. It’s simple to learn, yet so complex and powerful that I haven’t figured out all the odds and ends after over a decade. It’s so great, I’ve used it for several ongoing non-writing projects! All at an affordable price for Mac and Windows!
