Save the Cat!: The Last Book on Screenwriting You'll Ever Need by Blake Snyder

5.0

This is a fantastic book on story structure. Many writing books focus on the words put on paper, but since Save the Cat is actually a screen writing book, the focus is on what happens next--the biggest question writers need to answer.

Snyder sold screenplays on spec, which means he conceived of his own ideas, wrote them, and then pitched the idea to production companies. He has some great tips on breaking down the plot of your story into something easy to explain, a talent which comes in handy when writing back cover copy or queries.

I have this book checked out from my library right now, but I'll be buying copy as soon as possible.
