live seminar. Writing exercises at the end of each lesson enable you to successfully build your story
according to Hollywood standards. You review each lesson as often as you want.
Don't
miss this unique opportunity to improve your storytelling
ability and write your best script under the expert guidance
of a Truby instructor.
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
1-on-1 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.

BONUS:
"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."
