What some former STORY students say:
“McKee’s Story Seminar is incredibly helpful. I won the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing and found that what I learned in McKee’s course was a huge help in structuring the story. The course shaped the way I approached writing, and played a huge part in my career”—Tom Hallman (Pulitzer Prize winner)
“Knowledge of story design is just as vital for the novelist as it is for the screenwriter. No one imparts this wisdom like Robert McKee. He is not only the best teacher of writing I’ve ever had, but the best teacher of anything.”—Steve Pressfield (Author: The Legend of Bagger Vance, Gates of Fire)
“I have never received such enormous input or knowledge from one person. Robert McKee gave me a deeper understanding of the story process, of the script, of characterization, and the psychology of the screen. Nobody in the movie business can afford to miss this man’s mind.”—Quincy Jones (Award-winning producer, musician and writer)
“I took the Robert McKee course…it was insightful…concise…I’m a huge believer…”—Akiva Goldsman (A Beautiful Mind, The Davinci Code)
