Where Long Books Get Written

Every book-length project I've worked on has lived in Scrivener. The corkboard view alone is worth the price — it makes restructuring a 300-page manuscript feel manageable.

Organize research, outline chapters, and draft in one place. Built for long-form writing.

The Formatting Tool I Actually Use

I switched to Vellum after wrestling with Word for years. It produces genuinely beautiful ebooks and print interiors — and the learning curve is about 20 minutes.

Creates print-ready and ebook files that look professionally typeset. Mac only, one-time purchase.
