The Story Grid: What Good Editors Know by Shawn Coyne
4.0
Nuts and bolts. The book here is a tool. It gives writers a blueprint for self editing ones work before submission.
Some people resist the idea of structure and critical assessment. They are so caught up in the romance of writing and the idea of art that they don't to admit the mundane blue collar aspects of craft.
STORY GRID is a great way of overcoming that perspective. It is a way to make your writing better and to help overcome some obstacles that may occur from page one to the ending.
It is perhaps the best book on writing I've read. Although, I might also suggest James Woods' HOW FICTION WORKS and ATTACK OF THE CUPOLA SPIDERS by Douglas Glover. And there are many others, but STORY GRID is the closest to creating an owners manual for your model of fiction.
