My name is Joseph Michael. I help people become world-class writers by mastering Scrivener. My Scrivener coaching has helped even best-selling authors and full-time writers like Michael Hyatt and Joanna Penn create their best work. I didn't start out this way though. I started out like 99% percent of Scrivener users opening the program for the first time.
Can you imagine this?
I get Scrivener. I open it up. And I immediately slap my palm against my forehead. I remember thinking...
What Was This Alien Force That Hijacked My Will to Write and Left Me Feeling Like I Might As Well Quit While I'm Ahead?
I went from a self-proclaimed 'tech guy' to feeling dumb, frustrated, and even 'crazy' because I couldn't for the life of me figure out how this darn thing worked. I was drowning in all of the ebooks I was writing, blog posts for the other 2 websites I run, and I just couldn't wrap my head around Scrivener.
How could a tool that's supposed to help you write more...make you feel like you're not getting any writing done at all?
So with deadlines hanging over me...blogs to be scheduled...drafts to be revised...and books to be published
How Did I Solve The 'Mind-Boggling' Scrivener Problem You ask?

I have purchased Scrivener three times in the past on older computers, and I gave up each time because it was too complicated to learn. Then I heard about this course as the BEST one to learn it easily. The format of short videos and lots of examples is perfect. I am eager now to get my trilogy set up in Scrivener. THANK YOU!!
By Thomas Mills on 10/16/2020
Yes, its a good refresher course for me.

Good basic overview
By Corinna Cooke on 7/18/2020
He made this incredibly easy! His delivery is very clear and concise and for someone with no computer skills (me) he was able to make it simple and understandable. Definitely recommend!
By Ruben G. Flores on 7/2/2020
It gave me a rudimentary understanding of Scrivener.
By David Lieberman on 6/23/2020
Was this the whole course? It ends with him saying "see you in the next video." Also, he frequently refers to "ninja" tips he'll provide later -- but we never see. In addition, I'm disappointed to see so many questions that were posted as much as a year ago that were never answered. While the part of the course provided here is enlightening and easy to follow, Udemy should inform buyers that this is not the complete Learn Scrivener Fast course.

Good basic instruction. Thank you.
By Michael Adams on 3/21/2020
Very simplistic. Very good presentation and production values, but lacking in content.
By Jacalyn Colt on 3/18/2020
Very helpful information. Good pace. Clear, illustrative examples. Will need to refer to it repeatedly.
