Are you a screenwriter? Me, too.
If you have ever wished that you had a good friend in the movie and TV business who could show you how to write your best possible screenplay – someone with a well-established track record of writing, selling, and seeing their screenplays produced, not someone who just talks about screenwriting to sell courses, lectures, seminars, and books – well, so did I.
I never found that person: a mentor who could explain a screenwriting ‘how-to’ that would work for me, not just for them. Someone respected by their professional peers and colleagues, someone with confidence earned over a successful career – yet free of arrogance.
Good humor and a congenial approach to their work and method seemed too much to ask. But, what would a screenwriting education at the elbow of such a person be worth?
Sadly, I never met – or even discovered – Blake Snyder before his untimely death, but, judging by his legacy, Blake Snyder was that person.
In Save the Cat! – a brief book with an unlikely title – Blake Snyder provides instruction, yes, but also encouragement and inspiration, laced with smiles and chuckles.
It’s fun to read, easy to understand, and challenging to master.
No matter where you might be along your pursuit of screenwriting achievement and success, Save the Cat! has so much between its covers that it makes an unsurpassed starting point, yet remains an incomparable finishing point. I plan to return to it over and over again.
I also recommend Save the Cat! to actors, directors, producers, and fans who want to understand what makes a successful screenplay work.
Rest assured that I have no connection to the Blake Snyder estate, Michael Wiese Productions, or the Save the Cat! organization. I just like the book. It’s a screenwriting education in paperback.
