From the master of STORY, DIALOGUE, and CHARACTER, ACTION offers writers the keys to powerful storytelling. ACTION explores the ways that a modern-day writer can successfully tell an action story that stands apart from all others. In collaboration with former co-host of The Story Toolkit, Bassim El-Wakil, legendary story lecturer Robert McKee guides writers to award-winning originality by analysing the action genre, highlighting the challenges and, more importantly, showing how to master the demands of plot creation through innovation and ingenuity. ACTION is a must-have addition to the McKee storytelling oeuvre.
ROBERT McKEE, Fulbright scholar, is the world's most sought-after author and lecturer known for his seminars and webinars that provide writers with crucial insight on the story universe.

The list of McKee alumni includes the winners of over sixty Academy Awards, two hundred Emmy Awards, and one hundred Writers Guild of America Awards, as well as recipients of the Pulitzer, Booker, Olivier, and other major prose and playwriting prizes; BASSIM EL-WAKIL has worked closely with Robert McKee for over a decade, as an author and lecturer.
