Book Review: ‘Save the Cat’ Will Make You a Better Storyteller

  1. Book Review: ‘Save the Cat’ Will Make You a Better Storyteller Kent Sanders 6:24

As creatives, it’s important for us to understand why and how stories work. A great place to begin is by studying screenwriting. You may not consider yourself a writer, or don’t plan on writing a screenplay. Even so, understanding the storytelling process can help you in a variety of ways.

In this episode, you’ll learn how screenwriting principles can help you, and why you should check my hands-down favorite book on screenwriting, Save the Cat! by Blake Snyder. This amazing (and funny!) book will help you understand story structure, appreciate the movies you watch, and inspire you to create your own stories.
