Scrivener for Historians ep1: Introduction
มุมมอง 2.4K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Scrivener will be somewhat familiar to historians accustomed to Microsoft Word, but it has a better layout and additional powerful features.
I really appreciate your video tutorial on Scrivener for Historians. I am a retired graphic designer beginning my first book. I have been researching my subject for several years and collecting research. I am hoping to follow careful standards to provide readers with authoritative content using a primary source basis. My subject is the Crawford family in Scotland, which is not so much a genealogical book but more of a survey of the historical connections of the family and the place where they lived, etc. Thanks again for your assistance, I also have your book The Princeton Guide to Historical Research.
I'm not sure if this series should be call Scrivener for Historians, or just "Mastering Scrivener". I'm not a historian, but I'm finding this series to be highly informative, and I think the "historian" component implies this series is only useful to historians. When in fact, it seems like it's useful to anyone who's dealing with a large writing project.
Thank you for taking the time to post this most helpful series on Scrivener. Did you originally intend to post more? I wish you would.
Thanks for these kind words. I posted videos on all the topics I could think of. What other history-writing challenges do you face?
Thanks for the good video! I really like your point that it helps with structuring your argumentation and writing process because you're constantly reminded by the binder of the structure to follow. Also the benefit of being able to quickly see this overview and add for example a possible quote or so in a section you might only come to in months of research later is really great. Keeping this overview is what I thought to be the biggest challenge when starting a PhD in history and think that Scrivener can help a lot with that. Better then the Word index but also definitely way better then the folder/subfolder structures with thousands of pdfs and short sections.
This was a very useful video! Thanks for sharing your insight.
