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

2.5

I'm a novelist, not a screenwriter, but I like this book for how it breaks down story beats. The advice is definitely very commercially-minded, which could be more or less useful to you depending on what and why you write. I think the defining and distinctive thing about as a book on craft is its clarity and conciseness. It goes straight to the point and gives clear, though sometimes dated examples.
