Brad Bigelow wrote a biography of overlooked author Virginia Faulkner, who wasn't related to William Faulkner but had a notable career in writing and Hollywood. His research faced setbacks due to the pandemic, leading him to focus on online resources and archived materials. The biography is structured in 26 short chapters to enhance readability, highlighting Faulkner's life and career, despite her works being largely forgotten. Bigelow found Scrivener essential for assembling the biographical content during his writing process.

Use blank styles in Scrivener to mark text for revision without altering formatting. Blank styles serve as flags for sections you want to improve, such as dialogue, wording, or content repetition. Create them by selecting text without changing its format; apply and remove via the Style menu. You can search for text marked with these styles using the Find by Formatting feature.
