Essentials of Storytelling

"This book is essential for all storytellers, movie makers, screenwriters, directors, actors."

— Berker B. (5/5)

Bible of Screenwriting

"As someone who wants to make films this was a must find for me!"

— Anonymous (5/5)

The Textbook for Screenwriers

"I highly recommend screenwriters study this book. It is incredibly insightful and provides an in-depth understanding how movie storytelling works."

— Jon G. (5/5)

Must have reference book for story tellers and potential scriptwriters

"I was recommended this book 10 years ago. The book has a very detailed analysis of how a 'story' is constructed. It is definitely a must read for many budding script writers as well as any story writer in general. After watching 'stories' unfold many years, people are geared towards general principles of story telling, and if we don't adhere to those rules, we will find our audience confused and dis-satisfied. So unless you are attempting to create a work of art that breaks traditional story telling, I would recommend going through this book and implementing the rules into your story. I read it once through, and I thought I could remember most of the details. Time passed and I was asked to give some feedback on a friend's story. I found that I had forgotten most of the details which would have put some of my comments to my friend in a more professional perspective. So I would recommend picking up this book and storing it on your book shelf as a reference."

Learn to write by reading

"Robert McKee may know structure, development, etc. but have you heard of him before? What movies has he written? No doubt, I've learned some key elements on script writing from this book but it won't teach you how to write a good story."

— Mark (3/5)

Understanding Story

"For the first time I understand what a story actually is and why people want stories so much, why stories are so important and have been since way back in time, before Aristotle even. For anyone who has to understand the structure of a story in order to be able to write one, this is the right book. Some people know it intuitively but I have to be told. A wonderful book."

— Dorothy (5/5)
