This ultimate insider’s guide reveals the secrets that none dare admit, told by a showbiz veteran who’s proven that you can sell your script if you can save the cat.

Save The Cat!: The Last Book on Screenwriting You’ll Ever Need is a best seller, for over 15 years, that’s been used by screenwriters around the world.

A fast-paced, funny, and candid look at the movie industry from Blake Snyder. “Save the Cat” is just one of many rules to make your script more marketable:

The four elements of every winning logline
The seven immutable laws of screenplay physics
The 10 genres that every movie ever made can be categorized by — and why they’re important to your script
Why your Hero must serve your Idea

In his 20-year career as a screenwriter and producer, Blake Snyder sold dozens of scripts, including co-writing Blank Check, which became a hit for Disney, and Nuclear Family for Steven Spielberg. His book, Save the Cat! The Last Book on Screenwriting You'll Ever Need, was published in May 2005, and is now in its twentieth printing. Blake conducted sold-out workshops and seminars around the globe and consulted for Disney and DreamWorks. Along with guiding screenwriters, novelists and other creative thinkers, Blake's method has become the "secret weapon" of many development executives, managers, and producers for its precise, easy, and honest appraisal of what it takes to write and develop stories in any media. Blake Snyder passed away in August, 2009, but he lives on in his films and his books, in the advice that will never grow old, with the spirit that will continue to thrive and inspire.
