Using Scrivener for Picture Books

I use Scrivener for all of my writing projects from picture books to graphic novel scripts and novel-length projects.

Scrivener makes it easy to keep all of your drafts in one place and to reference research as needed. I’ve uploaded a tutorial video covering the basics of using Scrivener for picture books (particularly nonfiction).

Contents:

• Launching a new project
• Importing research
• Splitting your screen to better refer to research or previous drafts
• Using the snapshot function to capture previous drafts (or just creating additional documents in the binder)
• Footnoting and leaving comments
• Using composition mode to prevent distractions
• Using the compile function to export your work to MS Word.

Happy drafting!
