It will help you dissect any plot conundrum, conceive your story's blueprint, and give a beat to every pivot of your hero's journey." --Grant Faulkner , executive director of National Novel Writing Month and author of Pep Talks for Writers: 52 Insights and Actions to Boost Your Creative Mojo

  • insights on the craft of writing fiction

    Based on the classic Save the Cat concept for screenwriting feature movies, it has been adapted to fictional novel writing - it's a good input for learning the craft of writing long fiction.

  • Excellent Book On Writing!

    Excellent book on writing! I am reading it before National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). It's full of great information on plotting and characters. So glad I purchased this book.

  • It's a book that should join your thesaurus and dictionary --- very good reference!

    This book is helpful to any writer - fiction or non-fiction. It's worth sitting along side your other reference books. Get your own copy and then get to writing!

  • Detailed cat steps

    This is an exceptional tool that explains Blake Snyder's screenwriting for novels. Step by step, and detailed as to how many scenes for each beat. And defines each beat with many examples.
