Reedsy vs Scrivener 3: A Beginner's Comparison for Writing

[@WriterSanctuary]

I still really like both platforms, though.

[@thespencerjones]

Very articulate and informative comparison. You sound very even-minded about both apps. One thing that would help make your video more helpful to someone like me who is not fully familiar with these apps is for you to provide more screenshots or video of the apps themselves during your analysis. Thanks!

[@WriterSanctuary]

I will keep that in mind...thank you.

Hi!!! I LOVE SCRIVENER.

[@WriterSanctuary]

Yeah, I'm really liking having the split screen view and the customization. It's a bit more difficult to learn, but has so much more to it.

@@WriterSanctuary I MUST CONFESS, it's been a long time since really using it. i used it to write my memoir.

[@WriterSanctuary]

@@EIDLExperts Right now, I am using it to set up and finish writing Despair for the audiobook and Wattpad novel. I'm probably going to use it to finish VII as well.

Great video, thanks for posting it. I ditched Scrivener because it doesn't sync on iCloud. I use Storyist and sometimes Word - I enjoy writing in both. I have dabbled in Reedsy, but I'm unsure about it yet. Right now, I'm experimenting with a combination of Trello (for its fluid outline cards) and Google Docs (for its simplicity). I also plan my writing projects in pencil in various notebooks.

Nice. That's a common argument among many writers. Some love cloud sync while others prefer local saves. It all comes down to what you prefer. I use Google docs myself when it comes to collaborations. I wish Reedsy had that built in. 😁

AWESOME review🎉 What's the best way to learn Scrivener? (pls don't say just start using it) I could never get familiar with it.

[@WriterSanctuary]

Thank you. I'm not sure what you mean by "lessen" Scrivener, sorry. If you're wondering about how to learn Scrivener, I find that diving right in and using the tools as you write to be best for me. Then again, I like it difficult. :) I plan on creating more tutorials for Scrivener for both the WriterSanctuary blog and the KZbin channel. In any event, Scrivener is quite popular and there are tutorials all over the Internet if you'd like to learn more.

hI. I've watched a few of your videos. I don't want to offend you but hope you will take this as constructively. You mumble and are at times difficult to understand. Otherwise good information

It's my teeth. Sometimes, I have a hard time speaking with them. I've been trying to work with them, but it's still a challenge.
