This was brilliant Greg. I have been struggling with this programme for some weeks. looking at lots of videos. You were the first that explained the basics for dummies. I now know the basics and what each section is for. I am 77 years old have been writing for 70 years and try to use every new tech that comes along. I must say this programme is not user friendly but you helped me crack it. .

[@streetrider1977]

You are one of the first that really takes your time to show people in an "able follow along pace" What a treat. Teach me more. Thank you very much.

[@taosprogressive2779]

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.

[@alexandraross4787]

Greg, this video was the best tutorial I have yet viewed. Much easier for me to assimilate and understand than even Scrivener's tutorial. I was eager to get to the end of the video so I could tell you how much I liked it. I'm writing nonfiction, but I can see what applies--which is almost all of it. Thank you!🤩

[@rickywegener]

This was a fantastic demo. I've had Scrivener for a while now and never used it because I couldn't wrap my head around it. You've solved all of my problems by posting this video. Many thanks!

[@logansteiner8856]

Without this tutorial, I never would have figured Scrivener out. It's taken me so long to get started, and then I found your tutorial. You made it simple and so easy to follow. Thank you so so so much. You are a gift to Scrivener users that are beginners! Thank you a million times over!

[@canoeman09]

Hello Greg. Just in trial mode w Scrivener and was overwhelmed. (I am 78 yrs old but operated my own law practice for 20 years with no receptionist and no secretary, so am fairly program & computer literate). As others have said, you speak at a pace which a newbie can keep up. So important. Also, the pace at which you moved around the Scrivener layout, and its many tools, was appreciated. I could keep up, mostly. I leave your video with confidence that I will be fine with Scrivener. If I get stuck, I can always add a comment here about what I'd like you to explain. All the best from Nova Scotia, Canada.

[@patrickmcgeown8642]

Thanks Greg. Very well explained and voiced at a good speed. I appreciate you taking the time to make it.

[@GMSaliman]

A perfect tutorial and good that you tell how to use those things you dont use, before you throw them in trash can. So the tutorial can work for all :-D

[@lilblkcloud]

This is a fantastic, no-bullshit, patient little tutorial on Scrivener. Well done.

[@GregGountanis]

Thanks for watching!

[@ChimpoTalksGaming]

Oh man, I really appreciate this. I kept running into tutorials with giddy women shouting with fake joy at the screen, plugging their courses and discounts throughout the video. This is much more down-to-earth.

[@GregGountanis]

Thanks!

[@christinericci5153]

thankyou greg. im learning scrivener now. your video was very helpful.

[@NancyKfoury-bj3gf]

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!

[@DreamDetective]

Nice and clear and slow. I have been trying to find someone who can explain it in a real human way. I would love it if you could do a demo of adding a book that is already written. How to add the chapters etc.

[@windyhillbomber]

Thank you sir. You managed to explain the various functions in a very simple and straightforward manner unlike so many other introductory lessons I have watched.

[@GregGountanis]

Thanks David!

[@patriciamorrisoncomedian4642]

This was so helpful! I have used this software for a little while but was too timid to play with it. now that I have a better understanding, I feel pretty confident to play a little more. thanks Greg.

[@angelabertrand9684]

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!

[@freedomintruth5589]

Hi Greg, I attended your you-tube class minutes ago, and your teaching on 'Uses of Scrivener for the beginners' was highly beneficial to me. The systematic, clarity, consistence of your presentation along with the patience with which you explained each aspect you thought, was the uniqueness of your style. I would be an ingrate not to confess to the value your teaching has added to me today, and to my confidence you have boosted. I sincerely appreciate your timely investments in sharing your knowledge and experience on Scrivener software with us all. May the good Lord strengthen & bless you always.

[@GregGountanis]

Thanks!

[@Crimson_Space_Swan]

Thank you SO MUCH! yours is the only video ive found that ACTUALLY tells me how to use the program properly. 🙏🏼 Subscribed! ✌🏼

[@joanncataniakinkartz9934]

Thanks Greg. The clearest and easiest demo of Scriverner I have found yet.

[@jenniferward6821]

Absolutely agree

[@annacatcha7510]

That was really helpful! The first video that actually helped me understand how to start using it. Σ' ευχαριστούμε πολύ Γρηγόρη :)

[@sandywinkler1143]

Really well explained. Thank you.

[@nadinevalentine3042]

Hi Greg. Thank you so much! I'm sending back my Scrivener for Dummies book I just purchased. This is an excellent video, and I will be watching it again, I'm sure. Along with your other videos!

[@Thunder-ny5yh]

Hi Greg. Thank you for your time and consideration. I really appreciate you helping us get the words out using Scrivener. I will watch your, Outline A Novel episode, next.

[@Leemac027]

Excellent intro to Scrivener. Your session explained the basics, it was easy to follow and I am now set up and ready to go.

[@amandaevans8482]

Really appreciate this video - I learnt more from this one for a first time user than anything else I've seen.

[@DDigitalDreamer]

You have a great way and speed for explaining very logically--Scrivener. So many other videos that distract or move too quick. Just fantastic!

[@drbjmoore1420]

Hi Greg! I just completed your You Tube On Screen Demo! It was very helpful to me as a beginner. I am not as terrified of using scrivener after watching your demo. Thank you for make it simple for me.

[@gustaverieu5509]

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.

[@salsaguy1964]

Thank you Greg!! Best scrivener tutorial by far.

[@matthewakian2]

Scrivener isn't really complex when you have learnt all the basics. One of my favourite features is the 'Scrivener Link' function. You would organise all your plots, payoffs etc with that.

[@luannapierce2544]

THANK YOU . Thank you for your overview of Scrivener. New to writing and Scrivener3 and just finished Tutorial, on to further... just beginning corkboards, et al. Your work and sharing much appreciated. Thank you.

[@philliphumble1]

Best basic tutorial on Scrivener …. So well done on setting up your template! Paced so you can follow easily, thorough video. I watched dozens, you are the best. Thank you,

[@MarleyView]

Very well explained for a newbie to Scrivener. Thanks!

[@patriciamoore9208]

Thankyou Greg. Found this tutorial really helpful, you made it look easy. Thanks again.

[@RetroReprise]

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.

[@CGFernandesOficial]

This tutorial was really helpful. I found the outliner great, I use the story grid to self edit my books and I wont’t be needing to put the information in a excel spreadsheet in the future. Thanks a lot!

[@magickal02]

Thank you…this is very detailed, clearly instructive and even more helpful than the actual Scrivener demo videos. 🎯🌟

[@retiredmona2181]

Thank you so much for a great teaching video...

[@jc5852]

Excellent tutorial! Very clear and useful for learning this awesome, but convoluted, application.

[@OlettaLiano]

It took me a while to give Scrivener a try, but once I did I was hooked. Well worth the modest price.

[@lotone67]

Excellent, exactly the basics I needed to get started. Muchas gracias.

[@GuillermoEchevarria]

Muchas Gracias! Super clear!

[@ninonicebx]

Great tutorial. Helped me alot. Very concise. Thank you very much.

[@Selnatal]

Excellent! A real tutor. I have been walking a long way to understand and finally I did. Thank you so much!

[@jerseyfanel]

This was very helpful, thanks!

[@oddsox-sensei]

Thanks was debating if it was worth the cost, but this was great. MSWord’s outlining is nothing in comparison.

[@davidjohnston9481]

Awesome resource. Great job brother. Much obliged. :-)

[@VixSy333]

Was afraid of this, now, l’m in!!! Thank you, Greg!!!

[@jeromejones4946]

Excellent! Thanks!

[@Catindrip]

Great walkthrough, thank you

[@davidjohnston9481]

Great job brother, thank you! 🙂

[@jenniferward6821]

I love this software. And you revealed some nuggets I had missed. Many thanks

[@julielenfant2267]

Thank you so much, Greg. I had learned Scrivener six months ago but then turned to other projects. When I picked it up again, I felt lost. Your video was a much better reintroduction to the program than the Scrivener videos because of your moderate pacing and clear explanations.

[@GregGountanis]

Glad to hear it!

[@cryptechblues]

What a difference it makes when a storyteller gives directions. Tried to watch other KZbinr’s videos on Scivener and got nowhere. I’m ready to begin writing now without having to go through the baked in tutorial. Thank you sir. Liked and subscribed.

[@GregGountanis]

Thanks for watching Tim!

[@beclear2473]

Thank you so much for your tutorial - so easy to follow!

[@wespenre3418]

What an awesome tutorial, Greg! I learned a lot... Thanks (and I just subscribed).

[@charlottejacobson5530]

Excellent, thank you.

[@zenaidacrespolugo1235]

Thank you! This was great. I have been struggling to use Scrivener. You helped tremendously.

[@JV-vy8ke]

Awesome video! Great work!

[@lesleynicholson1426]

thank you for making this so easy

[@brenndacaro5826]

Best tutorial!

[@ianguill803]

Hello from Honduras Greg, great work and congrats to you and your channel it's been very helpful...keep it up and God bless.

[@boirepl]

Very helpful tutorial!

[@claudiaaguillon1282]

Thank you for sharing.

[@janethillsmith]

Absolutely perfect! How to format would be a great lesson.

[@tanneryohe1621]

You have a wonderful ability to explain things in clear, concise terms. Nice job! Wayne

[@pianonimrecords]

thanks for these great explanations...

[@margraynor58]

I'm interested in how to insert photos and adjust them. Great presentation!

[@guntergrenner9127]

A very good video. It is explained calmly and understandably and motivates to work with Scrivener. Especially if English is not the native language, the clear pronunciation helps to focus on the content.

[@GregGountanis]

Thanks for watching!

[@methowcondo7012]

Perfect. Exactly what I needed! Many thanks.

[@Palaskumarray]

This has been very helpful as beginner to me.

[@kennethhunter9745]

Best tutorial I have ever seen.

[@GregGountanis]

Thanks!

[@24086657]

Excellent presentation. Personally, the dark mode made it harder to see and not as exciting, but I understand, personal preference is important. Well done.

[@IanaL]

It is helpful, thank you very much!

[@soulventure]

Thanks for this. Literature and Latte should buy your presentation to replace theirs. Their vid is informative, but comes at such a pace that I find it impossible to absorb, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Your pace is perfect, and communicates a desire to teach and be useful that gives me genuine security in using the software.

[@GregGountanis]

Thanks John! Glad to help with the software

[@annieshawan8218]

excellent tutorial! Fantastic. This video should have a ton more views. I had to go through a few before I found this one.

[@GregGountanis]

Thanks Annie! Building the channel little by little

[@TheDaantje1234]

That was a nice helpful on-screen demo. I downloaded the free trial 2 days ago and I am finding my way through it bit by bit, so seeing your demo really helped with my needs for "basics for dummies" haha!

[@neepachatterjee9181]

Thank you. Best explanation ever.

[@kathleenhudson3812]

This is very helpful. Thank you for sharing.

[@kj2941]

I actually really love the note function in the chapter/scene location for jotting down things I may need to research better or make a note of specific names or locations that I mention. So glad you mentioned info about the outline section, I don't use that much, but so handy to see that I can make the info more specifics to my needs!

[@GregGountanis]

Glad to help!

[@PELVIS361]

This is the best tutorial on KZbin by far!

[@GregGountanis]

Hey Scribblers, thanks for watching!

[@burpreynolds3250]

This was extremely helpful! Thank you!

[@stevekobb3850]

So helpful! Many thanks.

[@BamaRider]

Very helpful.

[@ypresant]

Best explanation for writers I've hit so far ! Thanks!

[@GregGountanis]

Glad to hear it!

[@beclear2473]

Just purchased Scrivener. Your tutorial is EXCELLENT!!! Thank you.

[@GregGountanis]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@PostyshevsBureau]

Очень полезное видео. Всё по делу, всё очень грамотно. Спасибо из Владивостока!

[@comfortkonfor-empowermentt3135]

very helpful, thanks

[@deezdogz7195]

Excellent presentation. Thank you!!!!

[@leslieolano1155]

Thank you for making an informative video!

[@ceeece]

I don’t even have Scrivener and this is fun to watch! I really want it now.

[@shereedacosta8086]

Thank you, that was so informative. I've done the interactive tutorial twice now and I was just starting to make some sense of it all. However, after watching your video I have a much better understanding of Scrivener overall. Very grateful for your help.

[@GregGountanis]

Thanks Sheree!

[@darknightofthesoul7628]

Excellent primer for getting me started using Scrivener. Greg, I really found your tutorial useful, thank you! BTW, your voice is soothing to listen to, made this especially helpful.

[@GregGountanis]

Glad to hear it, thanks for watching!

[@scorpion_investor]

Super helpful, thanks.

[@warriorchick1362]

I cannot believe how helpful this is. Thankyou so much. Im now off to start writing

[@GregGountanis]

Glad to hear it! Happy writing!

[@oracleofaltoona]

your explanation / demo is great. thank you

[@jpan7071]

Liked and subscribed! No nonsense explanation. You should consider writing a “for dummies” book on the subject. I’d buy it.

[@GregGountanis]

I appreciate it, thanks for watching!

[@andrasedit2780]

Dear Greg, your tutorial was great. However, as I see, most of the scrivener tutorials are addressed to fiction writers, and just a very few explain features for academic writing, like how to insert, edit, extend footnotes, how to create a bibliography, and edit it in a certain order, ABC, chronological order. I am wondering if one has to do it manually, or if Scrivener helps with some shortcuts. Would be wonderful to have your tutorial about academic writing tools.
