Story
Substance, Structure, Style and the Principles of Screenwriting
The definitive grammar of how stories actually work.
McKee distills the principles taught in his legendary seminars into a comprehensive guide to the craft of story, covering structure, character, scene design, and meaning. Though framed around screenwriting, the book is a deep treatment of narrative that applies to any form. It treats story as a disciplined craft built on timeless underlying principles.
Founders pitch, brand, and build culture through narrative, and this is the foundational text on how compelling stories are constructed. Understanding McKee's principles gives founders a far deeper toolkit than any quick storytelling guide.
