Hey fellow writer/author ❤ Welcome to my less than fancy writing blog. I'll be posting notes and commentary on various writing resources and craft books. I sort of suck at newsletters. If it's a weakness, just acknowledge it right? So instead of filling your spam folder, you can go ahead and follow my blog posts ;)
I thought I'd start out with the infamous writing craft book called Save The Cat.
This post will have living links to each part as they become updated. BUT FIRST, what are the Save The Cat writing craft books?
Save The Cat was originally written by Blake Snyder, a screenwriter with many credentials under his belt. He created a set of story beats that would fit any film. His screenwriting craft book was discovered would also apply to novels. You can check it out or purchase it here.
This was later discovered by Jessica Brody, author of several popular novels for teens and tweens. After the recommendation of a friend after trying and failing to get an agent, Jessica discovered the power in the book. She soon gave seminars and courses on how to help other authors using this method!
And in 2018, it gave birth to Save The Cat Writes A Novel. You can check this version out here. And more recently developed a version for YA novels here.
I'll be primarily speaking about the one published in 2018 for novels. Join me along for the ride!! I'll be speaking about each of these chapters on my Tiktok page, and if you like what you see, you can hire me as your book editor ❤ Send an email to faemance@gmail.com and ask for a quote.
