  1. I recently decided to try out a bunch of different writing tools to see what worked for me.

    I tried out seven different Word Processing / Manuscript Editing options and wanted to give my thoughts and reviews of each of the following:

    #Obsidian
    #Ellipsus
    #Reedsy
    #WorldAnvil
    #Scrivener
    #LibreOffice
    #GoogleDocs

    I did not review Microsoft Word - it has enough written about it on the internet already.

    Hey, that's a topic I can speak to with some (limited) authority! Not the marketing stuff, as much - I'm terrible at that - but the typesetting. I just finished doing a review of six of the PC tools available for word processing and manuscript editing. I should probably do individual posts for each, but to skip to the end, I'll say that in terms of Typesetting, #Reedsy and #Scrivener are my current two favorites.

  3. Hello #academicchatter, can someone share their experience with referencing in #Scrivener?

    I'm considering using it to write up my dissertation but I've been spoiled by #Mendeley's MS Word plugin and it turns out there is no Scrivener equivalent.

    So, I wonder how you go about syncing Scrivener with your reference manager? Is #Zotero's RTF scan (and I hear #Endnote can do something similar) the best option?
