Literature & Latte
Writing software for novelists, screenwriters and non-fiction authors
Literature & Latte develops two desktop writing applications designed to address common challenges in the writing process. Scrivener helps writers organise and draft long-form projects, combining tools for outlining, research management, and composition in a single workspace. Scapple provides a freeform digital canvas for capturing and connecting ideas, notes, and thoughts without the constraints of linear structure.
Scrivener includes features such as a corkboard for visual outlining, a binder for organising documents and research, and a full-screen composition mode. It supports compiling manuscripts into various formats for publishing. Scapple offers an infinite canvas where users can create notes and link them with lines or arrows. Both applications are available for macOS and Windows. The company also provides free webinars, user forums, and a blog for community support and learning.
The software is aimed at writers of all kinds, including novelists, academics, screenwriters, and non-fiction authors. Scrivener and Scapple are sold as separate desktop applications. Literature & Latte offers a free trial for Scrivener, and both products are available as one-time purchases with no subscription required. Pricing is per license, and the company does not offer a free tier or usage-based plans.
