Workshop: Save the Cat! Writes a Novel

For this month’s workshop, we’re reading Jessica Brody’s Save the Cat! Writes a Novel and putting its story-structure method to work. Read the book beforehand, then bring a story you’re writing—or an idea you’d like to develop. Together, we’ll work through the fifteen beats and begin building our own beat sheets.

Come with a project at any stage, from a brand-new idea to a messy work in progress. No pages to submit and no critique—just a chance to study craft, talk through ideas, and leave with a clearer map for your story.
