Imagine if you knew nothing about Excel or MS Word. If I'm being honest with you, Scrivener's main cost-what you will exchange for it in value-is the learning curve-your time. How much does Scrivener cost vs its price?Īdmittedly, Scrivener is relatively inexpensive at under $50 for a writing platform that allows you to do everything from outlining, to mind mapping, organizing, detailing, editing, and also allows you to compile manuscripts suited for every major platform available to self-published authors. Okay, okay, I get it-I'm a little heavy-handedly alluding to a nuance here in the difference between Scrivener's price and Scrivener's cost, so. Remember, don't buy it until you get to the end.

The WINDOWS "EDUCATION" version of Scrivener costs ( at full retail) at the time of this post, roughly $35 - That's a pretty good price for a piece of software that will save you literally hundreds of hours over your lifetime as an author.

Between my email marketing costs, my web server costs, the price to do a book promotion, buying plugins to make my WordPress site less vulnerable to those pesky hackers, it seems like I'm being "priced" to death.īut here's some good news fellow indies, Scrivener's price is the least expensive, most valuable piece of software you'll wonder how you ever managed without. As self-published authors, we're bombarded by micro costs on what feels like a daily basis. What most new authors mean when they ask how much Scrivener costs is, "What's the Scrivener price?” I understand the impulse-I'm a penny-pinching indie author miser too-but "how much Scrivener costs" is the wrong question.Įven at full retail, Scrivener's well worth the "price".


Once new authors read for the hundredth time, from every author in the blog-o-sphere, that Scrivener is the greatest thing to happen to self published author's since Amazon and the laptop, that's the very first question they ask me. DON'T Buy Scrivener Until You Read This Entire Post!
