High Tech Writer’s Tools for the Low Tech Writer
with
Stephanie Draven, Multi-published, Award-Nominated Author

A High Tech Writer’s Tool-kit for the Low Tech Writer: How to use cheap but powerful tools like Scrivener and Aeon Timeline to improve your writing, organize your writing life, and take your career to the next level. Stephanie Dray will give a tutorial on using Aeon Timeline to keep track of important dates and the progression of your plot. She’ll also walk you through the basics of the popular program Scrivener, which allows you to plan, write and revise your novel in one place with unique visual tools. Scrivener also formats your manuscript for self-publishing if you want it to. Learn to use these tools and you won’t be sorry!

A multi-published award-nominated author of historical women’s fiction and paranormal romance. Stephanie’s critically acclaimed debut novel, Lily of the Nile, is based on the true story of Cleopatra’s daughter. Her dark Mythica romance novels (nominated by Romantic Times for the year’s best series) ask: What if the monsters of ancient mythology still walked the earth…and what if you found out that you were one of them?

Currently a denizen of Baltimore, Stephanie lives with her favorite nocturnal creatures–three scheming cats and a deliciously wicked husband. And when she is not busy with dark domestic rituals, she writes her books.
