Scrivener as a Professional Writing Tool

As a professional writer -- albeit of long-winded law review articles, exams, trade magazine articles, newsletters, FB updates, and now blog posts -- I pay attention when someone recommends a writing tool.  Today, while reading an article published in The New York Times, I learned about a software program called Scrivener.

I want all lawyers, law review editors, and law students to know about this program.  Our profession tends to adopt new technology tools slowly, but we should run towards this one.  To order a copy, view tutorials, or try a free version for 30-days, see http://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener.php.

The designer offers a 2.0 version for Macs and a 1.0 version for Windows.

P.S.  I was not paid for this advertisement. ;-)

    When I was in graduate school, I met with one of my mentors – a new Assistant Professor – and asked her if she planned to submit an article based on a recent talk she had given. She told me that the paper was too long and she was considering hiring a professional editor to get it from 10,000 to 8,000 words. I was astonished. Professional writing services

      I'm studying property, and at first I was planning on using it for my assignments. I'm finding it even useful for writing lease documents!

As I noted in my  first post  in this series, I am working from my notes, so I apologize in advance if I incorrectly paraphrase the remarks of any speaker. I was also reliant on the quality of the translation services and their audibility. Therefore, I am happy to make any needed edits to this summary.
