    This was brilliant Greg. I have been struggling with this programme for some weeks. looking at lots of videos. You were the first that explained the basics for dummies. I now know the basics and what each section is for. I am 77 years old have been writing for 70 years and try to use every new tech that comes along. I must say this programme is not user friendly but you helped me crack it. .

    Well done. Thank you for not rushing through the demonstration. Thank you for speaking clearly and using a dark screen that is easier to follow the curser. Best of 5 videos on this topic.

    You are one of the first that really takes your time to show people in an "able follow along pace" What a treat. Teach me more. Thank you very much.

    Greg, this video was the best tutorial I have yet viewed. Much easier for me to assimilate and understand than even Scrivener's tutorial. I was eager to get to the end of the video so I could tell you how much I liked it. I'm writing nonfiction, but I can see what applies--which is almost all of it. Thank you!🤩

    Oh man, I really appreciate this. I kept running into tutorials with giddy women shouting with fake joy at the screen, plugging their courses and discounts throughout the video. This is much more down-to-earth.

    Hello Greg. Just in trial mode w Scrivener and was overwhelmed. (I am 78 yrs old but operated my own law practice for 20 years with no receptionist and no secretary, so am fairly program & computer literate). As others have said, you speak at a pace which a newbie can keep up. So important. Also, the pace at which you moved around the Scrivener layout, and its many tools, was appreciated. I could keep up, mostly. I leave your video with confidence that I will be fine with Scrivener. If I get stuck, I can always add a comment here about what I'd like you to explain. All the best from Nova Scotia, Canada.

    Scrivener isn't really complex when you have learnt all the basics. One of my favourite features is the 'Scrivener Link' function. You would organise all your plots, payoffs etc with that.

    Hi Greg, I attended your you-tube class minutes ago, and your teaching on 'Uses of Scrivener for the beginners' was highly beneficial to me. The systematic, clarity, consistence of your presentation along with the patience with which you explained each aspect you thought, was the uniqueness of your style. I would be an ingrate not to confess to the value your teaching has added to me today, and to my confidence you have boosted. I sincerely appreciate your timely investments in sharing your knowledge and experience on Scrivener software with us all. May the good Lord strengthen & bless you always.

    Thank you so much, Greg. I had learned Scrivener six months ago but then turned to other projects. When I picked it up again, I felt lost. Your video was a much better reintroduction to the program than the Scrivener videos because of your moderate pacing and clear explanations.

    Thanks for this. Literature and Latte should buy your presentation to replace theirs. Their vid is informative, but comes at such a pace that I find it impossible to absorb, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Your pace is perfect, and communicates a desire to teach and be useful that gives me genuine security in using the software.

    Dear Greg, your tutorial was great. However, as I see, most of the scrivener tutorials are addressed to fiction writers, and just a very few explain features for academic writing, like how to insert, edit, extend footnotes, how to create a bibliography, and edit it in a certain order, ABC, chronological order. I am wondering if one has to do it manually, or if Scrivener helps with some shortcuts. Would be wonderful to have your tutorial about academic writing tools.
