Save the Cat!

Save the Cat! is a story structure methodology and software tool grounded in Blake Snyder’s beat sheet, designed to assist writers in outlining and structuring their stories, particularly screenplays. It offers a structured approach to story development, featuring a beat sheet template that helps writers effectively organize their plot points and maintain proper pacing. The platform also provides access to an online community and a wealth of resources, making it a valuable asset for scriptwriters seeking guidance. However, some users may find the methodology can be formulaic and may not align with those who prefer a more flexible storytelling approach. Additionally, it does not include AI-powered writing features, focusing instead on the foundational elements of story structure.
