It’s a definitive resource for aspiring screenwriters and filmmakers seeking to master storytelling and scriptwriting craft. ## Description 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. Review: Worth ! - Good Book for anyone who wants to get into screenplay writing Review: The Book - the only book - I have read this book since 2005. I re-bought a copy. This must tell many things - to each his own. For me the content is a complete discussion followed through with extant examples from World Cinema. It precisely answers the question: what is a story. It then homes into stories for the cinema; why is it different from prose and dialogue-based theatre. The pitfalls that the screenwriter needs to avoid. It takes time to absorb. It still is not entirely absorbed. ## Features - Winner, International Moving Image Book Award ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #34,942 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #37 in Photography Books #66 in Writing Guides (Books) #66 in Theater & Ballet | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,896 Reviews | ## Images ![Story: Style, Structure, Substance, and the Principles of Screenwriting - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71zRbi81P3L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth ! *by R***H on 31 January 2025* Good Book for anyone who wants to get into screenplay writing ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Book - the only book *by E***Y on 12 March 2019* I have read this book since 2005.
