This book is the result of many years of work by Christopher Vogler and David McKenna. As professional experts, they have analyzed a total of over 40,000 screenplays across a wide range of genres. Vogler and McKenna view their collaborative work not only as a useful storytelling tool, but also as a lifesaver for both aspiring and active writers.

The book owes its title to "Memo," a manual Vogler once wrote for use in the screenwriting department and which has become a legendary guide for generations of screenwriters. But this is only one of the many methods of analyzing and developing narrative structure and characters described in the book—from the characters of Theophrastus and the morphology of Russian philologist Vladimir Propp's fairy tales to Vogler and McKenna's own methods.

The authors not only generously share their secrets and demonstrate how they are used using examples of successful films, but also provide practical advice and specific assignments for independent work for future screenwriters and writers after each chapter.
