DETECTIVE GENRE
The detective story is about the unending search for truth, the struggle to claw through the facades, lies and misdirection that cheapens daily life. But this most honorable of all forms is a nightmare to structure.
Unlike drama where you track the development of the character through the action, here you must do that and set up an elaborate smoke screen to fool the detective and the audience.
The Detective
Online Class lays out a precise blueprint for how to create
the investigators, murderers and suspects, the intricacies
of the crimes, the plot twists, the special story beats and
the underlying themes of this popular genre. It also gives
you clues on how to transcend the form to write something
truly special and important.

TESTIMONIALS:
"I attribute my success in attaining agency representation, optioning several scripts, and being selected as a Disney New Writer Fellow to John Truby's Story Structure and genre classes. I wrote a detective sexual thriller immediately upon completing "Detectives, Crime Stories and Thrillers". Because of the insights into this genre gained from this class, I optioned my scripts within 3 months and won my position as a Disney Fellow."
