ABOUT
BLAKE
SNYDER
In his 20-year career as a screenwriter and producer, Blake Snyder has sold dozens of scripts, including co-writing Blank Check, which became a hit for Disney, and Nuclear Family for Steven Spielberg — both million-dollar sales. Named “one of Hollywood’s most successful spec screenwriters,” Blake continues to write and sell scripts, but now devotes much of his time to helping other writers achieve the kind of success he’s experienced.
His book, Save the Cat! The Last Book on Screenwriting You’ll Ever Need, was published in May, 2005, and quickly became the #2 best-selling how-to on Amazon. On the market for less than a year, it is currently in its fourth printing and has prompted "standing room only" seminars by Blake in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, and London. The book has also become the "secret weapon" of many development executives, managers, and producers for its precise, easy, and honest appraisal of what it takes to write and develop stories that resonate and scripts that sell.
Blake is on the faculty of Chapman University in Los Angeles and is a member of the MFA Graduate Faculty of David Lyman's Film Workshop in Rockport, Maine. His book is also the basis of screenwriting classes at Cornell, the New School, and many major universities. Apparently it is not quite the last book on screenwriting you will ever need, as Blake is currently writing the sequel, Save the Cat! Goes to the Movies, a dissection of 50 top Hollywood and independent films.
Blake has a B.A. in English from Georgetown University and lives in Beverly Hills, California.
