  • The real deal

    This is a genuinely excellent show. Technically, it is content marketing, because we do learn about Scrivener, but it’s a high level interview format in which you first get a lot of valuable discussion about writing with working professionals. Really well done.

  • Great find, this one

    I've been using Scrivener for a couple of years now and I know I don't use all of its features. It's been great to listen to the different authors and their creative processes and how they use Scrivener. I look forward to each interview.

  • Wonderful!

    I’ve used Scrivener for all long-form writing on a Mac for over a decade and love it. I used to read Kirk McElhearn’s columns regarding iTunes customization and now he’s writing similar advice for Scrivener. Fantastic! I discover useful information about the Scrivener app and am introduced to authors new to me. Love the interviews. Keep it coming. This is just great.
