PROS AND CONS OF SELF PUBLISHING IN 2020
Greg - a very big thankyou for a brilliant explanation and demonstration. I've now downloaded this so that I can reference it until it's 'second' nature. I reiterate what @carolynburt9685 says below. You've also helped this 77 (2024) year old crack it too!
This is so comprehensive. Thanks!
Why didn't I find this sooner! I support all the other comments praising you for your clear explanation on setting up a project in Scrivener. Very useful. I would appreciate your advice on changing the text in Scene 1, scene 2, etc to something like Beginning, story moves to Chicago for example. My understanding is that everything above 'Characters' will be compiled! How will these headings be translated once compiled? I'm going to subscribe to your video's and hopefully learn a lot more about Scriverner...
Brilliant. Best explanation I've watched.
Putting things into the colors labels make me really organized, i luuuv it.
Thank you brother. I appreciate the help. Well spoken and practical . I subscribed . 👍
They didn't even send me my book cover
Hi there I payed for my children book at iconic book s and they will not send me a paper back or a hard copy of my book I think I got scammed they only gave me a copy on my email only now I paid 700 dollars I never signed any contract with them and now they are not talking to me so should I take them to court
I appreciate your video…. But I am not writing fiction…. I am writing a “NON-FICTION” book. Is the non-fiction setup and process the same as the Fiction???? I sat through the Fiction… but where is the Non-Friction video
this was great. took me from helpless confusion to knowing where to start and where to go from there
absolutely fantastic. amidst all the confusion some actual elucidation. please make one on how to actually build a landing page thank you so much
got as far as the word ''journey'' (about 5 secs) wasnt gonna hang around to gear him say muh ''community''
Thank Greg for this video it's very helpful for the new writers. I like your demonstration about using a dark screen that is better for the eyes and can see easily the course.
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.
I have my outline handwritten in notebooks. When I went to begin to transfer to Scrivener and my Zero Draft, some things changed so radically I was a little taken aback. For example: I have my female character in a hospital and injured. She was with a young man who together were attacked and assaulted. The young man is killed and she is seeing her aunt for the first time since she was young. In the handwritten outline, I had no intention of the girl telling her aunt about the young man she was with. That was until my Zero Draft where I suddenly had the words coming from her mouth telling her aunt all about the young man. Funny thing is that deviation has opened up so many other avenues for the story I hadn't thought would with the closed handwritten outline. Funny how that happens.
Great help!!
Thank you Greg!! Best scrivener tutorial by far.
Great tutorial, i now understand how to use Scrivener. 19.06.2024 ; 00:36AM 😊
Great information! Under publisher, the area to place my imprint name is grayed out and my name has been automatically placed in there. I’m not sure why. It doesn’t allow me to put my imprint name. Any ideas?
how long does it take to get a physically proof copy mailed to you after payment?
This is terrific! I was able to follow you and rewind where I needed to, especially to hone in on specific areas that I really wanted to concentrate on. Really well done, thank you so much!
I ordered my proof copy of a book. The address name was different from the kyc ID. The book it seems will not be released by Govt customs. It is quite strange. Amazon should have given the warning. I have lost about Rs. 1400.00.
Hello Greg, your video is very helpful! Can you advise if we are able to change/edit our cover image after the ISBN has been assigned? Thank You!
This is a good, clear presentation that I wish I'd seen before writing two novels using Scrivener. Much more needs to be said about the compile process. In this video, Greg couldn't find how to set page headers. Answer: Go to the format selected in the compiler's left pane and edit it. This highlights a problem with the compiler; information and settings are spread across multiple aspects of the interface instead of being assembled in a unified settings pane. It can be difficult to find settings and even remember them later.
Why insult your potential audience. I am not a dummy.
I'm just confused...... Should I buy my domain and hosting of website? Or either bookfunnel is enough. I'm launching my books on kdp.
Great one. This is what i want to know exactly
When assigning my ISBN to my paperback do I upload my full wrap cover or stick to the ebook cover?
Lame gloss over of notes, one of the most powerful features...
Help! At the start of this video, he say: “If you happen to be a ‘pancer, or a ‘panser,’ or a ‘pantser,’ whatever. So what is he actually saying? ‘never heard this word before… or is it just a badly pronounced word? Bad way to start a video.
So helpful, thank you! 😊
You are a great teacher. So happy I found your video.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thank you for making this DIY video for attching the ISBN. Do I neef to attach the barcode also?
I see you posted this 3 years ago. Just letting you know this was the best tutorial I've come across yet for Scriviner. Thanks.
very helpful, thanks
I have stories in word, and would like to copy and drop them into Scrivener, then fine tune the story. I am sure it is a little more than copy and paste. Any suggestions?
Well explained. Thank you
Good advice! But the start music and ending music are so suddenly loud and hurt my ears and frightening . It makes this clip losing good quality
Thanks for the info. This was so informative.
When are we going to get the update video?
What an awesome tutorial, Greg! I learned a lot... Thanks (and I just subscribed).
Excellent, exactly the basics I needed to get started. Muchas gracias.
Question. Do you save your work every time, or you don't have to?
I love it! Thanks so much!
Excellent! A real tutor. I have been walking a long way to understand and finally I did. Thank you so much!
Super helpful!! Thank you!
Thank you! I am about to try out Scrivener for the first time and had heard it was tricky to learn, you made it sound manageable! Great tutorial!
Super helpful, thanks.
This is the best tutorial on UA-cam by far!
