Lesson Name & What’s Included
Part 1: The Basics
3 lessons - 13 minutes
After installing Scrivener, we’ll launch the program and start our first project, saving it in a secure place. In a brief and minimal orientation tour, I will show you the most basic ropes. Where you navigate your files, where you write your actual book, where you put your notes, etc. as well as how to change the font and size.
Part 2: Setting up your story project
8 lessons - 29 minutes
I’ll show you how to import my Scrivener template which is pre-built with all the folders already in them. Alternatively, I will show you how to create folders from scratch for: your manuscript, your outlines, your characters folder, templates folder, settings folder, notes and research folders.
Part 3: Customizing your writing space
7 lessons - 35 minutes
You can change the way Scrivener looks! It is fully customizable, and in this lesson I will show you how to quickly switch between themes, utilize dark mode to save your eyes, and import my custom-made themes into your project. I'll also teach you how to switch to composition mode and how to use the different features, plus change the background to set the mood for what you’re writing.
Part 4: Backups and Exports
5 lessons - 22 minutes
How to set up your project to automatically save every 2 seconds as well as setting up a backups folder for your project to save in every time you quit Scrivener. We'll also take an orientation tour of your computer’s files so that you always know where your projects are saving and how to find them again.
Part 5: My favorite features
6 lessons - 21 minutes
In this lesson, we'll explore some of my favorite tools, like Writing History, Linguistic Focus, Name Generator, and label colors.

Hello,
My name is Bruce Weatherspoon. I purchased the Scrivener Master Class with Abbie Emmons and the program never worked. I would like to either get mymoney back or have someone organized the program so that I can have access to the Scrivener Master Class with Ms. Emmons.
Annie, if the course is so great, why did you only give it one star?
The training course is well-organized and thorough. I feel like I am now a master with using the software. Thanks Abbie.
