Dominic Dunne, author of Another City, Not My Own and The Two Mrs Grenvilles * stimulating, innovative, refreshingly practical. Lawrence Kasdan, screenwriter, director of The Accidental Tourist, The Big Chill, Body Heat and The Empire Strikes Back * McKee is the arch defender of story: his book is a revelation. Griffin Dunne, screenwriter, director, producer of After Hours, Addicted to Love, Running on Empty and Chilly Scenes of Winter * Since I first attended Robert McKees course, I have sold four screenplays and two novels. I could not have done so without the wisdom and inspiration he provided.
