Thankfully for those of you just starting out, there are training courses available that you can take to defer some of that Scrivener cost in time. So as with any new software, Scrivener will cost you mainly in time to get up to speed and using it well.ĭon't get me wrong, you can easily open docs in the Scrivener Binder and start typing, but to create outlines, chapters, and entire novels or non-fiction drafts will take some getting used to and exploring the interface.

The learning curve to get up and running proficiently on those would, by today's over-bloated software standards, seem daunting. Imagine if you knew nothing about Excel or MS Word.

How much does Scrivener cost vs its price?Īdmittedly, Scrivener is relatively inexpensive at under $50 for a writing platform that allows you to do everything from outlining, to mind mapping, organizing, detailing, editing, and also allows you to compile manuscripts suited for every major platform available to self-published authors.

Once new authors read for the hundredth time, from every author in the blog-o-sphere, that Scrivener is the greatest thing to happen to self published author's since Amazon and the laptop, that's the very first question they ask me.
