Robert McKee has had quite an impact on my formative writing years. As he's up there in age, I wanted to see if he's still doing seminars - and saw that he's about to take his final seminar bow.
One small element to add is that he finally gave up smoking about 8 years ago, having smoked all his life! I managed his UK/European sessions for five years....I never tired of his teaching. He will be missed and hard to replace. We now represent John Yorke who I believe is a worthy successor!
Certainly glad that he gave up smoking! I have no doubt that his seminars were electrifying even after attending them several times. Had no idea you were managing him - great to hear and yes, John York (whom I've met at the London Screenwriters' Festival where I also lectured a few times), is indeed the real deal. Glad you and he are working together and I wish you continued success!
Thank you for your good wishes, and enjoying your writing too.
