Crafting Your Plot: A 60-Minute Masterclass by Greg MosseMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I’ve taken a few masterclasses with Greg Mosse when I was working in London. Always insightful, helpful, and the best teacher of the craft I’ve found.
If you are looking for one book to excel your writing, it is this one. I come back to it time and time again, as a reminder.
For a very low cost, you have access to the insights a man who has helped thousands find their own voice, develop their own authentic stories. Priceless.
Greg is one of the few teachers of the craft to turn his hand and prove his work by publishing. Many will know what a huge support he was, and is to Kate Mosse. At one of the master classes I attended, he mentioned that he too would turn to writing. He is also the best resource I have found on turning one’s prose into a screen play.
I urge you to look past any preconceptions and judge for yourself if his advice helps you craft your own work. It won’t hinder it.
Greg, Apologies it has taken so long to get on Goodreads properly. I was distracted by the day job and life, or busy thinking / writing / editing. I’m about to re-read it again as I finally get words out into the world.
