44: Gwen Hernandez, Author of Scrivener for Dummies

Scrivener tips and tricks from the expert

Gwen Hernandez is novelist who learned Scrivener the natural way—by using it. She shared what she knew with the online community, and her reputation as someone who not only used the writing software, but someone who could explain how to use it, took off. The author of Scrivener for Dummies talks to The Life Story Coach about some of the ways we can keep our writing, research, interviews, and everything else organized with what she calls the "project manager for books."

Color coding, tags, and meta-data, oh, my.

Listen as Gwen gives a rundown on helpful tools like tags, keywords, and other bits of meta-data, and how they can simplify the writing process.
