Blake Snyder (October 3rd, 1957 - August 4th, 2009) was an American screenwriter, author and lecturer mostly known for his non-fiction book series 'Save the Cat!', critically acclaimed for its down-to-earth approach to screenwriting. Blake Snyder started his artistic career as a child doing voice-over work for shows and movies produced by his father, the Emmy-winning producer Kenneth Snyder. Later on, in the 90s, Snyder wrote multiple screenplays that he sold to studios like Disney Pictures or Amblin Entertainment -- those screenplays selling for 500,000$ to a million dollars. In 2005, he wrote 'Save the Cat!: The Last Book on Screenwriting That You'll Ever Need' where he gives the keys to writing an effective and complete screenplay. After the book's success, he wrote two sequels that dive more into the artistic creation process behind a motion picture. Since then, he gained worldwide popularity as a lecturer giving seminars and online courses based on his advice from 'Save the Cat!'. In 2009, he passed away from a medical issue, leaving behind him a legacy of important artistic lessons that resonated around the world.
