Even if you don’t use Scrivener, I’d subscribe to this podcast to just hear in-depth craft, creative and industry observations from an incredible cross-section of writers. Fiction, non-fiction, technical, creative, self-published, publisher-published, the lot. I’ve learned a huge amount. The episodes are short, the conversations are interesting. And if you use Scrivener, you learn some stuff about that, too!
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.
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.
As a Scrivener writer, it’s delightful and inspiring to hear other writers talking about their creative process and about how they use this phenomenal writing app. Kudos!

I’m a a novice Scrivener user and would love to hear how each author uses Scrivener intertwined with the writing of their story. E.g. “I outlined my story on Scrivener and then went back and …. “ and then describe how, what, and why, the authors did what they did.
Right now I’m using Scrivener like Word and I know there’s more to it than that. The Scrivener manual... more
