I'm a bit of a computer geek and have about four computers on which I may work on a writing project. I also have a Synology NAS server and use SynologyDrive (works similar to OneDrive or iCloud, but personally owned/more private) to sync the writing folders between computers. However, there's one co...

Very new Scrivener user here (first project). When writing in LibreOffice I use horizontal lines freely to signal changes in scene or POV. However, I haven't found the corresponding command to do so in Scrivener. Also, I might like to split these chapters up into subchapters to help organize and rea...

I think I found the answer on this site: https://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/install-an-app-for-a-single-user-on-windows-10/ Rather than installing the program in the C:/Program Files directory, which is accessible to all users, I created a subfolder in my C:/Users/username/AppData/Local fold...

Well, while I didn't get a reply here I found someone to give my manuscript a professional critique... Imogen Howson . While a little expensive, she looks to have the background which I need and she seems enthusiastic about my project. She has my manuscript now and I'm expecting to hear back from he...

I installed the trial version of Scrivener on my home computer last week, and I'm considering purchasing a license for the Windows version. The license terms permit the software to be installed on a computer at work, but only for the use of the purchaser (which is fair). I have access to a computer ...

Last night I finished the final chapter in the first draft of my novel manuscript, Guardian Angel . I only started working on the characters and situations in, oh, about mid-1983! I'd like to find a professional editor to help polish it. Ideally, I'd like to find someone based in the UK (I'm US base...

I just last night finished the final chapter of my 72,000 word speculative theological romantic fantasy crime fiction novel...entitled Guardian Angel. Sample chapter attached.

Now to sell it. And can anyone recommend a good editor?

Now that I'm back at home, I can add some numbers to my earlier rather gushing comment. I just printed out a 208 page full-color PDF file; it was the guidebook for a video cooking course I'm taking (shameless plug for The Great Courses). Anyhow, the 208 page file printed out in under 12 minutes, dou...

Thanks for replying, Katherine. How is Scrivener at importing from and exporting to LibreOffice (.odt) and, possibly, WordPerfect (.wpd)? I wouldn't use Microsoft Word on an ongoing basis even if they paid me.

I know that this is an old, old OP. At the risk of being accused of thread necromancy (in my defense, someone just posted to it before me), I have to say that I am delighted with the performance of the Xerox WorkCentre 6515 DN which I purchased two years ago: ⋅ It's a commercial-grade prin...

I have some bound issues of Railway Age magazine from the 1950s which I'd like to scan. They're printed on a non-standard oversize (9" by 12") page format and have 26 weekly issues in each volume...over 1000 pages; very hard to open flat. I've had some success with using the book scanner a...

I'm working on a novel (24 chapters so far; starting Act III) and I recently received a recommendation for Scrivener. I don't object to the pricing; if I go with the competition I'll probably make a similar donation to support continued development. What's coloring my decision is the fact that I gen...
