Joseph Michael – Learn Scrivener

How you can get Scrivener to do exactly what you want and accelerate your writing career in less than 1 week

Finally…get the secret weapon every successful writer uses to publish their books, finish their novels, and have their work seen by hundreds…even millions of people…every single day

I Created ‘Learn Scrivener Fast’ to Make Sure You Never, Ever Struggle with Scrivener Again.

Ever!

I don’t think it’s any secret that if you’re an author, a freelance writer, a copywriter, a professional blogger, a marketer, or even a lawyer, your livelihood depends on your writing.

And if you’re not writing, you won’t be making any money on the half-finished novels and sales pages sitting on your virtual shelf of Scrivener.

LSF is a 100% digital, step-by-step video course and a ‘must-have’ tool for serious writers. You can use it whenever you need an answer to your most burning problem, and have it solved in less than 3 minutes!

It’s like having a Scrivener coach–someone like me!–sitting right next to you at your favorite writing spot, showing you exactly what to do to solve every issue and every frustration you’ve ever come across. And don’t worry–unlike other courses that only talk about how to use Scrivener for Macs, I specifically call out how to help Windows users for each of the problems I solve for you.

Each module consists of just 3-5 minute bite-sized videos that helps you to solve the problems you need to solve, at the exact moment you need to solve them. No extra reading, no hour-long blurry tutorials.
