Every Story Has a Pattern. Every Story Has Meaning.

Save the Cat! helps students discover both patterns and meaning through the storytelling framework used by working writers and thoughtfully adapted for today's classroom, brought to life through familiar stories and shared cultural touchstones—because students remember what they understand.

Designed as a supplemental learning resource, Save the Cat! complements existing English Language Arts (ELA), creative writing, literary analysis, and essay writing instruction—making it easy to integrate into the curriculum you already teach.
