Scrivener 3 For Mac: Getting Started (Visual Guides)

Karen does a great job of making sense of the Scrivener basics in this book, complete with plenty of screen shots to help guide you along the way. As a Scrivener for Windows user, I was able to follow along and compare the instructions with the Scrivener 3 for Windows beta software to better understand what the Windows version will end up looking like and (more importantly) working like. There are a few minor typos but the information is spot on.

Very helpful

I've had Scrivener for some time but hardly used it. I decided to give it another try before trying a different writing format and came across Scrivener 3 for Mac. I'm glad I did. It was very informative. I will utilize Scriener more and use this book as a great reference whenever I have a question about something I'm working on within the.program

Excellent book. Really helps to explain changes and the diagrams are easy to follow even on Kindle. Got book on Kindle United but will now purchase. Good price. Also have video on Udemy from same author--I found the book much easier to follow, but t
that may be the pupil rather than the teacher.

Better than the Scrivener tutorial!

I found this book to be really helpful. I was lost and confused while going through the Scrivener tutorial. This book cleared up my confusion. I would recommend!
