LITERATURE & LATTE, the creators of Scrivener, is a software company founded by writers for writers. Everything they do is born of a passion for bringing together processes familiar to writers in new and exciting ways. What if moving index cards on a corkboard changed the structure of your manuscript? What if you could move notes around on an infinite sheet of paper?
Literature & Latte was founded in 2006 to answer such questions, and their award-winning software is now used by thousands of writers the world over. It’s helped turn napkins into novels, thoughts into theses, and scribbles into screenplays.
While their headquarters are in Cornwall, UK, their small team spans the globe. They’re united by a love of writing and literature, our pride in their products, and the respect they have for their customers and the community that has grown up around their software.
And why “Literature & Latte”? Because their apps are designed to make writers feel right at home—like your favorite bookstore or coffee shop. So grab a latté. Put your fingers on the keyboard. And get writing.
TAILOR-MADE for long writing projects, Scrivener banishes page fright by allowing you to compose your text in any order, in sections as large or small as you like. Got a great idea but don’t know where it fits? Write when inspiration strikes and find its place later. Grow your manuscript organically, idea by idea.
WHETHER you plan or plunge, Scrivener works your way: hammer out every last detail before typing a word, or carve out a draft and restructure later. Or mix your methods and do a bit of both. In Scrivener, everything you write is integrated into an easy-to-use project outline. So working with an overview of your manuscript is only ever a click away, and turning Chapter Four into Chapter One is as simple as drag and drop.
NEED to refer to research? In Scrivener, your background material is always at hand, and you can open it right next to your work. Write a description based on a photograph. Transcribe an interview. Take notes about a PDF file or web page. Or check for consistency by referencing an earlier chapter alongside the one in progress.
ONCE you’re ready to share your work with the world, compile everything into a single document for printing, self-publishing, or exporting to popular formats such as Word, PDF, Final Draft or plain text. You can even share using different formatting, so that you can write in your favorite font and still satisfy those submission guidelines.
