If you're a writer, or planning on becoming a writer, I can tell you from firsthand experience that one of the best classes I ever took was the Story Structure class from story-guru Robert McKee.

It was like a semester's worth of training crammed into three days of intense study.

Now, that said, there are definitely elements to his methodology that I'm not 100% in agreement with, but he is by far one of the most efficient and proficient instructors on story structure I've ever met.

I don't receive any type of commission for recommending him, just so you know.

If you're interested in finding out when his lecture series might be headed to a city near you, keep on tabs with his web-based lecture schedule at www.McKeeStory.com.

If you do take the class, let me know what you thought!
