Writing Stories That People Crave

Stereotypical stories stay at home, archetypal stories travel. From Charlie Chaplin to Ingmar Bergman, from Satyajit Ray to Woody Allen, the master storytellers give audiences the double-edged encounter they crave. First, the anthropological pleasure of discovering a world they do not know. Second, once inside this alien world, they find themselves. Deep within these characters and their conflicts the audience discover their own humanity. "McKee's great insight and knowledge in storytelling is unparalleled."

From Charlie Chaplin to Ingmar Bergman, from Satyajit Ray to Woody Allen, the master storytellers give audiences the double-edged encounter they crave. First, the anthropological pleasure of discovering a world they do not know. Second, once inside this alien world, they find themselves. Deep within these characters and their conflicts the audience discover their own humanity. But if it was as simple as discovering the unknown, then why don't audiences just read or watch non-fiction? The answer is simple. They want to enter a world they don't know, but discover characters that are human beings at heart just like them. Audiences crave stories that are culturally-specific, but universally human. Robert McKee's STORY Seminar fosters stories of archetypal power and beauty that will give the world this dual pleasure. Over the course of three intense days, McKee teaches: - Story design: the meaning and substance of story - Story structure and mapping the story universe - The principles of character dimension and design - The composition of scenes - The writer's method: the creative process from inspiration to final draft. The STORY Seminar empowers your command of the storytelling craft, freeing you to express your original vision of life, lifting your talent beyond convention to create stories of distinctive substance, structure and style.

No story can be made to work without an understanding of the reactions and anticipations of the audience. You must shape your story in a way that both expresses your vision and satisfies the audience's expectations. During Robert McKee's GENRE Seminars you'll learn how story flows from a tradition of core events, characters, and values delineated by the genre in which you write. Your first task is to identify the genre, or combination of genres that will inspire your creativity. The second is to master its possibilities. "My five days spent with visionary Robert McKee was a cascade of revelations. You could almost hear the clicking inside my head as McKee ticked off answers to questions I could barely articulate." — ERICA FERENCIK, Author (NYC GENRE Festival Alumnus, Fall 2019) Master your genre.
