Hello, I've been writing and revising YA novels for a number of years and recently (while in midst of latest round of revisions) decided to take a look at Blake Snyder's Save the Cat.
Lots of fiction writers seem to find using Snyder's beat sheet very helpful. But I haven't seen much (if any) discussion of how well his 10 movie genres align with novel genres.
Does anyone have thoughts on whether Blake Snyder's method of categorizing stories into 10 basic types applies just as well to novels as it does to movies? Does anyone know of any lists of novels categorized according to Snyder's genres?
Thanks!
