Our Summary

An oft-quoted reference for screenwriting, this book delves deep into story as a metaphor for life. McKee’s analysis of film structure is hugely insightful for novelists. He explores genre, character, theme and exposition in terms that are clear and thought-provoking. Beyond a ‘how to’ guide, this is a reference book that deserves its place on a writer’s shelf.

What I learned From It

The art of story is universal. The same set of skills a writer uses to bring a story to the screen also strengthen our craft in writing fiction and other narratives.
