For over 20 years, Story Seminar has been the world's ultimate story and screenwriting class for over 50,000 screenwriters, filmmakers, TV writers, novelists, industry executives, directors, actors, producers and playwrights, because it effectively demonstrates the relationship between story design and character.

The extensive list of award winning professionals who have attended McKee's class is testimony to it being the most respected and rewarded screenwriting class in history.

Quality story structure demands creativity; it cannot be reduced to simple formulas that impose a rigid number of mandatory story elements.

Using examples from over 100 films, Robert McKee demonstrates that structure and design are about form and principles, that structure is not plot, rigid rules, formulas or 'Hollywood' movies.

McKee's Story Seminar teaches you the principles involved in the art and craft of screenwriting and story design, and proves the essence of good story is unchanging and universal.
Whether on the big screen, on television, in novels, on stage and in all creative work, everything works in the shadow of classic story design.

Characters are what they do. Story events impact the characters, and the characters impact events. Actions and reactions create revelation and insight, opening the door to a meaningful emotional experience for the audience.

Story is what elevates a movie, transforming a good film into a great one. Movie-making is a collaborative endeavour - requiring great skill and talent by the entire cast, crew and creative team - but the screenwriter is the only original artist on a film.

Everyone else - the actors, directors, cameramen, production designers, editors, special effect team and so on - are interpretive artists, trying to bring alive the world, the events, and the characters that the screenwriter has invented and created.

Robert McKee's Story Seminar is a comprehensive, superbly organised exploration of all elements, from the basics to advanced concepts. It is a practical course, presenting new perspectives on the craft of storytelling, not just for the screenwriter but for the novelist, playwright, journalist, and non-fiction writers of all types.

'A visionary master of the craft and a brilliant teacher... Story Seminar is an experience guaranteed to leave writers of every stripe spellbound' VARIETY

'McKee is Hollywood's MOST WANTED screenwriting teacher... fanatically empowering... inspiring and enthralling' MOVIELINE
