I've been using Scrivener since 2005 when it was still a very young program. It was a tremendous help during NaNoWriMo that year and I've been attached to it ever since. In fact, it's become an essential tool for me. I've recommended it to dozens of people. It comes down to this: if you write on a Mac, get Scrivener. And with the Windows version coming, I'll soon be able to say, "If you write, get Scrivener."This book is aimed at an audience that is both new to Scrivener and new to writing a novel. I'm neither, but I bought it hoping to see if there was a way I could get even more out of my beloved Scriv. As a power user, I didn't find any major a-has in the book--but I was reminded of a few tips I'd forgotten, so it was worth the purchase price and I'll keep it as a reference.I especially enjoyed the guide to exporting in .mobi (Kindle) and .ePub formats. That function will be very handy in the next few years.
