如果你在写小说（或者说在进行任何形式的叙事创作），Shawn Coyne 的《The Story Grid》绝对是必读之作。这档播客棒极了——这是我发现的第一部值得从第一期一集不落听下去的播客——它让我大开眼界，帮我理解了……
If you're writing fiction (or doing any sort of storytelling for that matter), The Story Grid by Shawn Coyne is an absolute must-read. The podcast is amazing—it's the first podcast I've found worth listening to from the very beginning—and it has opened my eyes so much, helping me understand the…
Everyone's novel draft is broken in a different way, though some advice can be better than others. Have you ever read Story Grid by Coyne? He's someone who edited at a major publisher before going out on his own, and he wrote a book about his tools for editing novels. Might be worth a look if you're deep down an editing pit.
……结构，通常是三幕式，以及观众会有某些特定预期（假结局/终极反转、反派自白或夸耀、进入反派老巢等等）。关于这一点有一本挺不错的书叫《The Story Grid: What Good Editors Know》，作者在里面详细剖析了《沉默的羔羊》。我记得他还针对言情小说写过一本类似的。读完那本书（或者其他作者的同类书籍）之后，你就会……
…structure, usually three acts and certain expectations the audience has (fake ending/final twist, speech praising the villain, visit to the villains lair etc). A pretty good book that covers this is: "The Story Grid: What Good Editors Know" where the author goes through Silence of the Lambs. I think he also has a similar book for a romance novel. After reading that book (or similar books by other authors) you'll…
我是读完《The Story Grid》之后才读的 Robert McKee 的《Story》，我发现 Shawn 的解释和描述比 Robert 更精确、更切中要害。我也非常喜欢 Shawn 几乎全程拿同一个故事（《沉默的羔羊》）作为贯穿始终的案例……
I read Story by Robert McKee after I read The Story Grid and I found Shawn's explanations and descriptions more precise and to the point than Robert's. I also really like how Shawn, for the most part, uses a single story (The Silence of the Lambs) in his examples…

太棒了，多谢！在我的那次大修中，我采用了 Coyne 的《The Story Grid》这套方法。非常有帮助，而且特别对我这种理工男的脑回路胃口。
Awesome, thanks! For my major edit, I went through The Story Grid approach by Coyne. Very helpful and appealed to my techie brain.
每个人的小说初稿烂的地方都各不相同，不过有些建议确实比别的高明。你读过 Coyne 的《Story Grid》吗？他在出来单干之前曾在一家大型出版机构当编辑，后来写了本书专门讲自己用来修改小说的工具。如果你深陷修改泥潭，这本书可能值得一翻。
