When talented people write badly it's generally for one of two reasons; Either they're blinded by an idea they feel compelled to prove, or they're driven by an emotion they must express. When talented people write well, it's generally for this reason: they're moved by a desire to touch the audience.

Robert McKee returns to London this November!
Robert McKee's STORY Seminar
Writing is about respect, not disdain, for the audience.
When talented people write badly it's generally for one of two reasons; Either they're blinded by an idea they feel compelled to prove, or they're driven by an emotion they must express. When talented people write well, it's generally for this reason: they're moved by a desire to touch the audience.
Robert McKee's STORY Seminar teaches you the principles, complexities and conventions of story design necessary to understand the reactions and anticipations of your audience.
What You'll Learn:
  • Story design and structure;
  • The principles of character dimension and design;
  • The composition of scenes;
  • The writer's method;
  • How it all works: see how the principles of story are applied during a scene-by-scene screening and analysis of CASABLANCA.
"Robert McKee is truly a master, not only of the art of story, but the art of teaching it as well. One of the most rewarding and informative weekends of my life, and worth every penny."

Robert McKee's LOVE STORY Seminar
Are you attending the London STORY Seminar? Make a weekend out of it and continue your evolution as a writer at McKee's LOVE STORY Genre Seminar on November 24th.
We create love stories in order to explore, express and experience the emotion from the safe distance of art. This 1-day seminar is dedicated to the timeless codes of the romance genre, enabling you to identify and innovate its dramatic conventions. Robert McKee shares a lifetime of narrative insight into a story form that continues to drive publication and performance across books, films and television.
All writers are genre writers. Every story flows from a tradition of core events, characters, and values delineated by the genre in which you write. The writer's first task is to identify the genre, or combination of genres that will inspire his or her creativity. The second is to master its possibilities. The third task is to satisfy its audience's expectations while you take them into unanticipated pleasures.
Master the Art of the Heart.
