SCRIVENER FINALLY HITS THE IPAD & iPHONE! BEST DAY EVER!

Today is a BIG day! Scrivener, one of the greatest writing applications ever created, is finally available for the iPad & iPhone! I wrote my book, Filmmaking with the iPad & iPhone, along with a few screenplays in the Mac version of this incredible app. I’m VERY excited to see it finally launch on iOS!

In a nutshell, Scrivener is an immersive writing environment with an extensive toolbox. You can easily collect and organize research as you work your way through your manuscript or screenplay. You can view, structure, re-structure, and output your content in a wide variety of formats.  While I don’t necessarily think it’s the best screenwriting app for iOS, I will say that Scrivener is certainly one of the best overall writing tools available on any platform, and it’s worth way more than its $20 price tag.
