Reddit reviews The Story Grid: What Good Editors Know

This is Shawn Coyne's Story Grid system, which he actually uses to edit stories. I highly recommend the book, which taught me a lot about writing and editing in general (and I'm pretty well learned in this area, having a degree in screenwriting). There's also a story grid podcast that's pretty interesting.

Story by Robert McKee. This will show you The Matrix.

Story Grid by Shawn Coyne. This book will take your novel from vague concept to power-outline.

Also excellent is /r/Mistborn's lecture series, available for free on the Youtubes. It's aimed at fantasy and sci-fi writing but has plenty of relevance for any other genre.

I've had two successful self-pubbed novels with a third one coming soon and these are the resources that took me from scrub to author.

I completely agree. Have read it three times, and even made a page by page checklist as well as an act by act, and global checklist for my stories. It's kind of a Story Grid-esque thing but with more detail.

I'm writing screenplays so it's a plus for me :D. Have not heard of Swain's Techniques of the Selling Writer. I got John Gardener's The Art of Fiction but haven't gotten to it yet. Is it filled with a lot of practical information like McKee's book? Or does it talk more in a kind of abstract interpretive/theoretical style (as I know some books do)? I much more prefer practical terms/examples.

A couple of good books in the Robert McKee Universe are:

Dialogue which gets more into the micro level of storytelling, and Story Grid which is more macro. Shawn Coyne, the author of Storygrid and editor of Dialogue also has a podcast.
