Evaluate Two Story Structures for Your Novel

Three-act or Save the Cat, linear or jumping about, one viewpoint or several: the structure shapes the whole book and you're torn. This compares two structural approaches for your specific novel, focusing on what each does for the reader. You name the genre and the two options and it weighs them up. Good when you're planning or revising and can't pick a shape.
