• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

I'm a Mac user, so Pages to me is excellent (and far more user-friendly than Word). How does Scrivener differ?
Scrivener lets you do loads of things Word or Pages aren't designed to do. It's not merely a document to write onto. It's an organizational tool and much more.

And as an aside, it might be useful for you to consider getting Word for Mac. While Pages does let you save a document as a Word doc, I had issues on the other end with edits from more than one editor when I did that. With Word for Mac, no issues on my editor's end at all.

Ah perhaps I should review before I send in future. Thanks for the heads up.
