Scrivener is the go-to app for writers of all kinds, used every day by best-selling novelists, screenwriters, non-fiction writers, students, academics, lawyers, journalists, translators and more (including yours truly). Scrivener won't tell you how to write—it simply provides everything you need to start writing and keep writing.
My aunt, Jackie Lloyd, is writing a rather unusual book: My Imaginary Dog, based on a series of fantasies she had while walking the steep seaside slopes of Deep Cove here in North Vancouver.
She has asked me to help edit it, and has even launched a blog to talk about the whole adventure. I think the dog, Bear, will also be giving his two cents' worth there.
