I received a ARC and this is my honest review—Sacha Black is a master of all things writing craft. In The Anatomy of a Bestseller, she presents a simple yet effective method for breaking down any story and discovering why it works (or doesn’t). I’ve been a fan of Black’s work for some time. As well as being a fantastic teacher, she packs her books with filthy humour, which I appreciate in a genre that can be a little dry. Definitely one to add to your TBR, move to the top, and read now!

I received an ARC, and here follows my honest review. This comprehensive guide takes us on a deep dive into examining what makes a great novel and reveals the tips and tricks that best selling authors use. Walking us through step by step, Black shows us how to successfully deconstruct a novel, using excellent examples and her own proven methods. In what would otherwise be a dry topic, the author’s dark humour and insight makes The Anatomy of a Best Seller a compelling read.

Sacha has given the writing community an invaluable gift here. It should be required reading. As writers, we are likely reading a lot (if not constantly), but how many of us are getting the most out of what we're reading? The methods outlined in the book are immediately actionable. Black dives into techniques on deconstructing best sellers on a macro, mid and macro-level. She even adds a small section on deconstructing markets, which I found especially helpful. This is a truly unique craft book
