Scrivener is my all-time favorite writing tool. I wrote about it here and even shared a brief video demo. Ever since I got Scrivener about four years ago, I haven’t turned back. It’s the perfect resource for organizing and structuring a writing project, then actually getting the writing done.
You can view your work in multiple formats, including a corkboard feature with visual digital index cards that you can drag and drop on the screen in whatever order you’d like. You can also drag actual web pages into a Scrivener file so you have all of your writing and research in one place.
I like the goals feature, where you can set project targets and session targets for each time you open the program. It also saves your spot when you leave a project so you don’t have to scroll down to the last place you stopped.
An Online Course
There’s a plethora of online courses available for writers. Here are some of my favorites:
I wrote this Start-Up Guide for Online Writers e-course as a one-stop shop for people wanting to become established writers online.

Aren’t these the best?! Don’t let another brilliant idea go down the drain. Capture those perfect sentences before it’s too late. 🙂 I personally think a set of AquaNotes would bring a smile to any writer’s face.
This printable resource includes 18 ways to help you meet your writing goals, increase your word count, and finish those writing projects you’ve started.
Printable Prayers and Scripture Cards for Writers
These printable prayers and corresponding Scriptures cards for writers will help you strengthen your spiritual life as a writer and daily commit your writing to the Lord:
Books
Books are some of my favorite gifts for writers. Every writer loves books, whether they’re fiction or nonfiction, writing-related or not.
Here are some of my favorite books on writing:
Influence: Building a Platform that Elevates Jesus (Not Me)
Kate Motaung and Shannon Popkin

A New Journal
Who doesn’t love to crack open a brand new journal? It’s alive with possibilities. I created this one with 52 one-word writing prompts:
Get The Five-Minute Writing Prompt Journal on Amazon.
Coffee or Tea
Most of the writers I know need all the coffee. And what would be better than the opportunity to go sit at a Starbucks to write for a while? In my opinion, if you’re looking for gifts for writers, you can’t go wrong with a Starbucks gift card.
Or, if your favorite writer is more of a tea person like me, I can highly recommend this Rooibos tea:
A box of NovelTeas is another fun idea:
Mug
If you’re going the coffee or tea route, round out the gift with this fun mug:
Time
The vast majority of my writer friends lament, “If only I had more time!” Well, guess what? You could give it to them! If they have young kids, offer to babysit. Make them a meal. Wash their dishes. Sweep their floor. If you’re really feeling generous, gift them with a solo night or weekend away at a cabin in the woods where they can churn out those words they have tucked deep inside. Be creative!
What about you? If you’re a writer, what gift would you like to be given?Â

All of these are great! Most are on my list. 🙂
These are such great ideas! I’ve had AquaNotes on my list for a while. 😉
I have never seen those Aqua notes before and love the idea of helping others with their time to write. My husband is starting a novel so I’ll have to remember that and hope some of my friends read this too! 🙂
