No matter if you're a newbie or a produced writer, Blake understands that the struggle never ends. Whether you're rewriting or getting rewritten, looking for representation or leaving your representation, he's got you covered. And on those days when you don't feel like writing and all you want to do is go on the Internet and 'research,' read his chapter on discipline, focus, and positive energy. I guarantee you will be up and writing. I love this book! – Kriss Turner, Writer, Something New; Writer/Producer, Sherri, Everybody Hates Chris, The Bernie Mac Show
"Save the Cat! Strikes Back is Blake's best yet. It expands on his principles of storytelling in a breezy, colloquial style and gives us a deeper personal insight to the relentlessly positive mindset that powered his great success and his generous spirit. Blake's life was far, far too short but his work and his inspiring legacy will remain timeless." – Rick Drew, movieScope Magazine |
