Its a subscription based piece of software that offers many options; from a 3 month subscription to a full year subscription.

Click to tweet this review to your friends and followers You may now rejoice if you are a fan of Blake Snyders Save the Cat series of screenwriting books, because the latest version of the companion software has been released.

The software, aptly named Save the Cat 4, is a total rebuild of the previous version.

The new build has tons of new features, most notably the incorporation of the latest STC book called, Save the Cat Writes a Novel; The Last Book on Novel Writing Youll Ever Need, written by Jessica Brody.

Now novelists can enjoy using this software just like screenwriters have been able to do for years.

If you are unfamiliar with the Save the Cat methodology I highly recommend you read Snyders original book Save the Cat; The Last Book on Screenwriting Youll Ever Need.

Its a fun read and his ideas and thoughts on the process of writing a screenplay are interesting and proven to work.

Save The Cat Software How To Use The

Once you understand the process he has developed, you will understand how to use the software.

There is a learning curve to the new version 4, because it has so many new features, but it stays true to Snyders book.

Visually the software is a virtual cork-board that is divided into four spaces.

Throughout the writing process you can keep fine tuning your log-lines and titles here.

The middle space is for your digital notecards, called scene cards.

They prompt you to to treat each scene as a story on its own by making sure you include a conflict and an emotional change for your character.

You can include pictures of the character or whatever youd like on each card.

Listen to the podcast here: New Save the Cat Writing Software guests Jason Kolinsky Bob McFarlane - Ep27 The bottom portion contains more notecards that you save information to, such as websites, research notes, pictures or whatever you need to help you write.

The left side of the screen holds The Blake Snyder Beat Sheet This space contains all 15 of Snyders beats.

Just fill in your story elements for each beat here and you are well on your way to writing a winning script.

As I suggested earlier, read the book, but fear not if after reading it you cant remember certain aspects of STC.

There is a help section, located in the top menu, called Fun and it has you covered.

Here you will find a link to the Save the Cat Website, a highly detailed Users Guide, a tour of the software, advice for writing, and downloadable sample files that really help you wrap your head around the program.

If you are writing a novel the concepts are the same but the screen is laid out differently to accommodate the workflow of writing a book.

No matter what kind of writing you do, Save the Cat 4 can help you.

The software enables you to write a movie, a TV show or a novel, but it also is set up to help you write a series, whether it be a movie series, a television series or a novel series.
