Screenwriting Basics #2: A Save the Cat!® Course

Welcome

Thanks to you, Save the Cat! continues to be the #1-selling set of books on both screenwriting and novel writing. Founded in 2005 by screenwriter Blake Snyder, and later adapted by novelist Jessica Brody and writer Jamie Nash, the Save the Cat! principles represent the standards by which working writers, studio executives, publishers, and entertainment professionals develop and evaluate scripts and manuscripts.

Now we have created a set of online classes designed to simplify the complexities of storytelling. The Save the Cat! online courses take you step by step through the Save the Cat! methodology to help you discover, organize, and tighten your story.

As the late great Blake Snyder said, “The worst thing that can happen in screenwriting is not to finish. Half-written screenplays never sell!”

Let’s help start and finish your story.
