Scrivener for Murky Muddles is perfect for novels, memoirs, and narrative nonfiction drafts that have stalled at their sticky places, a great jump start to get your book through its next revision.

Each class is two hours long, held over Zoom on Thursday and repeated on Saturday. The Bonus Bundle gives you access to all six occurrences. Familiarity with Scrivener strongly suggested.

Course is divided into three topics on Thursdays and Saturdays. Take them à la carte for $95 each or $255 for all six. Got a buddy? Email me at janine [at] janinekovac [dot] [com] for a special two-fer discount.

Here's the breakdown of topics:

Class A: Whatcha Got?

In this first class, we look at what's already on the page. I'll cover compilation formats and exporting to Word/Pages/Google Doc, etc. plus a review of composition mode and binder options. In our craft talk, we'll discuss how to determine what's already working in your ms and where to go from there.

Offered Thursday, September 14 from 4pm - 6pm Pacific. Class repeats Saturday, September 16 from 10am - 12pm Pacific.

Class B: Revision Tools

Sometimes revision means cutting a new path and sometimes it means getting lost in the woods (and in your metaphors). How do you explore new possibilities and still keep track of the old ones? Strategies covered in this class include: bookmarks, snapshots, revision mode and a review of the Inspector.

Offered Thursday, September 21 from 4pm - 6pm Pacific. Class repeats Saturday, September 23 from 10am - 12pm Pacific.

Class C: Hidden Gems

What happens when your revision needs more than a line edit? Not to worry! Scrivener to the rescue with an organizational overhaul. Think of it like California Closets for your novel. I’ll cover character templates, timeline hacks, labels, statuses, and keywords plus a review of the corkboard view and the outliner view.

Offered Thursday, September 28 from 4pm - 6pm Eastern. Class repeats Saturday, September 30 from 10am - 12pm Pacific.
