Novelist Jessica Brody presents a comprehensive story-structure guide for novelists that applies the famed Save the Cat! screenwriting methodology to the world of novel writing. Revealing the 15 "beats" (plot points) that comprise a successful story--from the opening image to the finale--this book lays out the Ten Story Genres (Monster in the House; Whydunit; Dude with a Problem) alongside quirky, original insights (Save the Cat; Shard of Glass) to help novelists craft a plot that will captivate--and a novel that will sell.
With a PDF that includes charts, lists, and exercises from the book.

Je ne donne pas 5 étoiles car a mon sens les premiers chapitres sont très instructifs, passés le premier 1/3 ce n'est plus qu'une succession d'exemples apliqués à différents styles d'ouvrages.
Je recommande pour les débutants
