Novelist Jessica Brody presents a comprehensive story-structure guide for novelists that applies the famed Save the Cat! screenwriting methodology to the world of novel writing. Revealing the 15 "beats" (plot points) that comprise a successful story--from the opening image to the finale--this book lays out the Ten Story Genres (Monster in the House; Whydunit; Dude with a Problem) alongside quirky, original insights (Save the Cat; Shard of Glass) to help novelists craft a plot that will captivate--and a novel that will sell.
Outstanding Edition for Novelists I've been using Blake Snyder's Save the Cat! model for years in my written stories. As others have said, it adapts extremely well from screenplay to novel writing. I've seen a substantial improvement in my novels since I read the original Save the Cat! book.Jessica Brody has (in cooperation with Snyder's publisher) made an outstanding edition of this for novelists. I was pleasantly surprised to find many new insights that had not occurred to me. I am quite convinced it will help me further.If you are unfamiliar with the Save the Cat! method, get this book! If you are familiar, it is still worth it, for those new insights and more directly novel-oriented approach.As a long-time pantser (one who writes by the seat-of-the-pants instead of using a preplanned structure,) I was skeptical of the model. Yet I found it helped me to understand where I was going with my story, even when I didn't know where I was going in a scene. I no longer consider myself a panster, partly because this method has helped me comprehend my creative flow well enough to write with that flow inside the structure I have planned.I've also combined a beat sheet based on Snyder's Save the Cat! book with one based on Randy Ingermanson's Snowflake Method, which I've put together in Scrivener. I look forward to updating that with the new insights from Jessica Brody.All in all, this is a book that every novelist of every genre and skill level should read.Finally, Save the Cat Fits My Books While this book takes on the formula of Save the Cat from the screenwriting books it still has a very different soul. I've used the Save the Cat method to write my books for years, and was thrilled when I learned this book was coming. I read it all in one sitting, and despite many books built with the same 15 beats, I still managed to tag the thing to oblivion with new pieces of information that will make my novels better. Ms. Brody takes the tried and true methods and adapts them for the novelist. I will keep this on my desk and consult it before starting every single one of my books in the future.Most comprehensive, engaging & applicable book on novel writing I've ever read! Just WOW!! As an author I've read and studied the original "Save the Cat" book a TON, but this version specifically for novelists is INCREDIBLE!! It blew me away and I couldn't put it down! Jessica Brody's writing style is so fun and easy to read and she takes all of Blake Snyder's beats and tips to a whole other level! She elaborates so much more, applying everything to novel-writing, and I also so appreciated the super-detailed Beat Sheets for 10 very diverse best-selling novels. This was seriously the most comprehensive, engaging & applicable book on novel writing I've read to date! It's something that has already helped me improve my current WIP and helped me outline book 2! With how much information is packed in here, I will be pouring over it again and again and using it as my novel-crafting-manual from here on out.
