Scrivener webinar at Mark Dawson’s Self Publishing University
I’m giving a Scrivener webinar for Mark Dawson’s Self Publishing Formula University (SPFU) on Wednesday, May 15th. You can join the fun for just $1 US by signing up to Mark’s Patreon account at the $1/week level (no long-term commitment required).
Patreon supporters get membership of SPFU (with five quality webinars so far in the library), exclusive contents, a shoutout on the podcast, and depending on level, an SPF pin, all PDFs and handouts mentioned in podcasts, and chances to win access to premium courses.
If you’re not familiar with Mark Dawson, he’s the man behind the popular Self Publishing Show podcast, and the author of bestselling thrillers, who generously gives of his time and knowledge to help indie authors succeed. In fact, his series on Amazon ads a couple of years ago gave me the confidence I needed to wade into advertising my books.
I hope you’ll join me for the webinar! Also, look for me on an upcoming episode of the Self Publishing Show.

Which Scrivener Features Do You Really Need?
Prompted by a question from one of my newsletter subscribers (my newsletter now includes a Scrivener Q&A column), I’ve dedicated an entire blog post to answering the question: “Which Scrivener features do you really need?”
If you’ve ever been frustrated because you feel like you should be doing more with Scrivener, or you’re not sure where to start, give it a read over at Writer Unboxed.
Getting Flexible with Scrivener’s Split Screen mode at the WITS blog
Happy ides of March, for whatever that’s worth. 😉
Have you ever used Scrivener's split screen feature? If you thought you didn't need it, or just don't understand it, my post over at Writers in the Storm today is for you. 🙂 Stop by to learn more and ask questions.
Enjoy your weekend!
P.S. Only 10 days until Blind Justice! (I’m just a little excited…)
Scrivener for memoir writing: a podcast interview with The Life Story Coach
The Life Story Coach, Amy Woods Butler, helps people write life stories (theirs or other's), and she uses Scrivener. To give her listeners a better idea of how Scrivener can help them, she asked me to join her for an interview on her podcast.
We discuss the concept of Scrivener as a “project manager for a book,” lots of ways to use the software for any kind of writing, and how weird it is that I'm a left-brained non-plotter. If podcasts are your thing, or you just want to know what I sound like (jk), check it out!
Here's a teaser…
