Save the Cat! Writes a Young Adult Novel by Jessica Brody

5.0

Save the Cat! Writes a Novel is one of the best writing guides I’ve ever read! I was so excited when I found out that Jessica Brody was writing a new edition for Young Adult novels. 

This book details the 15 “beats” of the Save the Cat method for plotting a novel. There is extensive information on the different genres, or story types, that are found in almost every young adult novel. There are also some “beat sheets” for popular young adult novels, such as Six of Crows and The Fault in Our Stars, so you can see how the beats work in novels you already know. 

Save the Cat! Writes a Young Adult Novel is a must read for young adult writers!

Thank you Ten Speed Press for providing a digital copy of this book.
