Scrivener + Novel November: Our Offers
Get writing with our extended trial
We’re sponsoring ProWritingAid’s inaugural Novel November in 2025, and are offering some great discounts on Scrivener, together with an extended trial and a novel writing template pre-loaded with a 50,000 word target.
What is Scrivener?
Our app is a powerful content-generation tool for writers that allows you to concentrate on composing and structuring long and difficult documents. While it gives you complete control of the formatting, its true focus is on helping you get to the end of your first draft.
Your Complete Writing Studio
Combining the power of a word processor with project management tools, Scrivener stays with you from your first unformed idea all the way through to the final draft.
- Bring all your notes and research together
- Outline and structure your ideas with Scrivener’s Outliner or Corkboard
- View research alongside your writing
- Write your story in any order, in sections as large or small as you like, and re-order with ease
Scrivener won’t tell you how to write—it just makes all the tools you have scattered around your desk available in one application, leaving you free to focus on telling your story.

Novel November: What’s on Offer?
50% Discount for All Novel November 2025 Winners
If you reach the goal of writing 50,000 words in November, you will be eligible for a 50% discount off Scrivener’s regular licence for macOS or Windows (normally $59.99).
20% Discount for Everyone Else
Even if you don’t reach your target, you can still get 20% off the regular price of Scrivener by using the discount code NOVEMBER in our online web store until December 7th.
Take Our November Extended Trial—for macOS and Windows
We’re offering a special Scrivener trial version that will last you all the way from mid-October through to early December, even if you’ve tried Scrivener before. The trial and template can be downloaded from the link below by all November writers, whether you’re a Novel November participant or have chosen to go it alone / write with another group.
Extended Trial
Scrivener’s trial normally runs for thirty days of use, but so that you can start using Scrivener while you prep without worrying about the trial expiring part-way through November, our special November trial will run all the way up until December 7th. So you can download the app, get used to its features, use it for your plotting and planning—and if you like it you can buy Scrivener after the event at a discounted price using one of our special offers. Note – the extended trial will work even if you’ve downloaded and used up Scrivener’s 30-day trial beforehand.
The November Template
When you launch the Novel in November edition of Scrivener and choose File > New Project, you will find a special novel template available in the “Fiction” section of the project templates chooser. We’ve put this template together especially for those taking part in the event—it’s based on the regular “Novel” template but it will create a project with a 50,000 word target set up for you and includes several other extras to help with the event. Regular users of Scrivener who aren’t using the special versions provided above can download these templates below.
Installing the Template: click “Options” from the bottom of the New Project template chooser and using “Import Templates…”, select the downloaded .scrivtemplate file for your platform (both will be included in the downloaded .zip file). Once installed, the template will appear in the Fiction template category.
Keep an eye on our social media channels @ScrivenerApp for plotting, planning and writing tips through October and November. If you have any questions about Scrivener or our offer, just ask us at: https://www.literatureandlatte.com/contact-us
