This was a quick read because Hewson does exactly what he set out to do and that is explain how someone that wants to use Scivener for creative writing can do so. He sometimes is a bit abrasive by telling the reader not to look at certain aspects because they do not pertain to using the program for creative writing, but I feel like this is essential in this type of book where people may try to become distracted by all the bells and whistles that are available by this program. As someone that wants to start using the program I feel that I have a better grasp on how to use it to my own advantage now that I have given this book a read. It is a great book for someone trying to start out with the program, but also looking at other resources that they may want to utilize for writing. This book shows how you can use this singular program for research, synopsis, and collaborating with others. It is a valuable resource for anyone that wants to have an easy experience with writing. The program itself costs $45 for the mac or $40 for windows. The main reason for this is obvious upon reading this book and that is the limited functions that are available on the windows version where as many others features are available on the Mac version. Hewson also has a section at the end of the book that reminds of all the shortcuts, which makes this book even more valuable for those individuals that want to utilize this program. ( )
