Story: Substance, Structure, Style and The Principles of Screenwriting

Robert McKee's screenwriting workshops have earned him an international reputation for inspiring novices, refining works in progress and putting major screenwriting careers back on track. Quincy Jones, Diane Keaton, Gloria Steinem, Julia Roberts, John Cleese and David Bowie are just a few of his celebrity alumni.Writers, producers, development executives and agents all flock to his lecture series, praising it as a mesmerizing and intense learning experience.

In Story, McKee expands on the concepts he teaches in his $450 seminars (considered a must by industry insiders), providing readers with the most comprehensive, integrated explanation of the craft of writing for the screen. No one better understands how all the elements of a screenplay fit together, and no one is better qualified to explain the "magic" of story construction and the relationship between structure and character than Robert McKee. more

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jul-07-2009; Very Very Damn Good; There are some very good books of this type available and this is one of them. I would also recommend The Art of Dramatic Writing and Hero with a Thousand Faces.; read full review | report as inappropriate

4/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jun-19-2009; Worth the money...; I found the book a bit dense (or maybe I'm the one who is dense). At any rate, the info inside is a break from the traditional 'formatting and structure' books that litter the landscape. McKee's 'Story' is much more centered on the...; read full review | report as inappropriate

3/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Feb-22-2007; A necessary evil for screenplay writers; Don't get me wrong, this is a book that every screenwriter should read, but...
