Always dreamed of writing your own novel but don’t know where to begin? You’re not alone. Fiction writing can be intimidating, and it’s no coincidence that novice novelists often run into the same problems, like starting with a heavy exposition or lacking continuity in plot or setting.

Even if you’ve finally figured out how to flesh out your characters, there’s the actual writing part of it — that’s a whole other story.

A writing app for novelists

If you have the mind of a novelist, you know all too well that organizing your ideas can be overwhelming, which is why the innovative minds at Scrivener figured out a way to structure your ideas for you. Scrivener 3 is an award-winning app designed for novelists to write out their masterpieces. And a lifetime subscription is available now for just $29.99.

Put simply, Scrivener is a word processor and project-management tool that guides you from your lightbulb moment all the way through to the final draft. While Scrivener won’t write your work of art for you, it offers everything you need to start writing and keep writing.

Ever heard of writer’s block? With Scrivener, you can scribble as jumbled thoughts come out, with the flexibility to compose your text in any order for as long as you like. Once the ideas start clicking, you can piece together your story easily within Scrivener’s easy-to-use software.

Scrivener also comes with a few tools that make your writing process more fluid and dynamic. A ring-binder function allows you to flip through your manuscript and notes with ease. And Scrivener mode allows you to edit your text all together in a single document.

Scrivener’s corkboard feature lets you keep your storyline straight, and its outliner functions ensure you stay on track.

Scrivener is an industry standard writing software for a reason. Thousands of novelists all over the world credit their success to the app. New York Times bestselling author Jean Kwok swears by the app’s capabilities. “Scrivener isn’t a piece of writing software, so it doesn’t confine me creatively at all,” Kwok wrote in a glowing review. “It just makes everything I need to do as an author much easier…. I would never write a book without Scrivener again.”

Save on Scrivener

If this is the push you needed to write the next Great American Novel, there’s no longer anything holding you back. Join the ranks of today’s successful novelists and download Scrivener 3 for the limited-time price of $29.99. That’s 38% off its regular price of $49.
