two book reccomendations for the editor side

Can be taken in Ebook format.

There's a writer side an editor side, here are two books that I recommend helping you switch there once all the creative writing side is done writing down the first draft.

Two sides, both that need to be separated. The creative and the analytical.

The story grid by Shawn Coyne

Wow! This methodology and taxonomy demonstrated for storytelling is the most adopted as I got in.

Seeing what good editors know, along with their stories was brilliant as he lays out his experiences, along with providing genre, category, and audience expectation to the value of the storyteller. Both of how to do a commercial and literary story, with a case for this distinction.

It ends with a sumptuous analysis of The Silence of the Lambs. Along with revealing a lot about what he knows best about the Thriller Genre.

His podcast has useful tidbits too, providing signposts.

How not to write a novel By Sandra Newman and Howard Mittelmark.

If you had read Stephen's King's on writing, then you'd be looking for bad examples on what not to write, this cutting room floor is a great starting point.

It's NSFW at the perennial examples at the end, the humour of it all had me a sitches at parts, especially with the Theme chapter.
