Excellent editor and project manager for writers
Scrivener is a project management and writing tool that aims to make you a better writer. Scrivener takes you through from idea to final draft.It helps you outline and structure your ideas, take notes, build storyboards and much more. There's a handy theme tracker which allows you to track themes using keywords and it can also help you combine multiple scenes into a single text.
The developers claim that Scrivener is so good that it's been enthusiastically adopted by best-selling novelists. You can believe it too because it's clear to see how Scrivener can help you write a book far more logically and painlessly than trying to write on a blank canvas in Word for example.The corkboard view in particular is excellent at allowing you to pinpoint and categorize different scenes for chapters, scenarios, and concepts.
Although Scrivener takes a bit of getting used to, serious writers may find that it helps significantly improve the creative writing process.

Best software I ever bought!!.
This software keeps me organized as a writer. I have 5 different projects going and I'm not going crazy: a musical for Relay for Life, a set of poems about cancer, a collection of family recipes as a gift for my sister, a requiem for my grandfather, and a collection of free write prompts for a writing workshop. Everything stays right with the project, including notes, research, successive versions, links within the project, links to pages on the web, AND links to files on my computer.Now, I could have done all of that and saved all the pieces in one project folder. But there would be no easy way to see the manuscript all at once. With Scrivener, I can see one little piece at a time, move the different parts around easily, save versions and the program compares them and tells me the differences, and then see the whole manuscript by clicking one folder. Great Tutorial and Manual on Board. More
