I was excited to read this after listening to the authors on Joanna Penny’s podcast, but while it had a few good reminders and I did highlight occasionally, it’s mostly retreads of other, more detailed books. Story Grid by Shawn Coyne is one of, if not, the best book out there and they quote it a lot. I will say, this is a short book, so if you want to save time and get some basic structure advice, check this out. But if you are looking for something deeper, check out Story Grid.35
As an award-winning author, editor, and someone who teaches Story, this is a great resource. The authors provide thorough background and resources for further study while giving you everything need to improve your writing and/or your existing manuscript. I’ve been in this space for a while now and was surprised by what I learned from this book. It’s a great resource that I will recommend to my students and writer friends alike55
