THRILLER GENRE
The Thriller is one of Hollywood's most popular forms because it combines the criminality and surprise of the detective form with the danger and pressure of horror.
A good thriller puts the hero in danger early and never lets up. While the thriller usually involves a main character trying to find a murderer, it has very different story beats than the detective genre. Each step is geared toward wringing every last ounce of terror from the hero and the audience.
The Thriller Online Class shows you exactly how to lay out the thriller story beats for maximum plot in minimum space, how to create the unique thriller hero (different from the detective), how to avoid special thriller roadblocks that will throw you off course, and keys for transcending the typical thriller for a real knockout.

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."
