Save the Cat Writes a Novel

by Jessica Brody

Reviewed by Patricia Tiffany Morris

Storytelling comes to life with Brody’s adaptation of Blake Snyder’s book Save the Cat. I recommend heartily. The colorful images of the 15 beat novel structure begs to be illustrated and mapped. You won’t regret buying this gem of a resource. Refer to it often to manage the beats and scenes within your next novel!

Oodles of books on how to structure a story grace bookstores and online sellers. As a new writer, read as many as possible to learn the craft of writing. As an artist, I’m also sketching the bones of each author’s structure and format into a visual drawing map to better assist my right brain assimilation. Save the Cat Writes a Novel is a marvelous resource. and the third book I devoured since beginning my search for the order and organization of my thoughts and ideas.
