Save the Cat! Writes a Novel
by Jessica Brody
Another helpful and great aid in creative writing to add to my slow-growing list. Save the Cat was straightforward, easy to take in and full of fantastic examples. My particular favourite chapter was about how to write longlines and short synopsis which always sounded terrifying to me, but here, Jessica Brody offers a template to simply fill in.
I've given this a 3 stars rather than a 4 simply because I feel like now I've read enough books on creative writing structure that this really didn't offer anything new. Save the Cat rather reinforced a lot of the ideas that I've learnt about and really went into depth about different types of plots, genres and tropes found across the literary world.
A great book for anyone thinking of writing a novel for the first time! 3/5 stars.
