Hollywood story consultant Truby commits his vast knowledge of screenwriting and storytelling to the page in this handy guide for aspiring writers of all types. Truby delves into the setup, from basic structure to the premise and the depth behind it.
From there, he moves into character, emphasizing the importance of not only the hero but also the characters in the story who aid and oppose him. Truby illustrates the importance of setting to the story and how careful plotting is needed to weave the elements of the story together.
He cautions that plot is not incidental and requires careful management and timely revelations. Although most of his examples are from movies, such as Tootsie, The Godfather, and Star Wars, Truby also draws from novels and plays, and his advice is applicable not only to the hopeful screenwriter but to the aspiring novelist as well.
A comprehensive guide to writing stories of all kinds, Truby’s tome is invaluable to any writer looking to put an idea to paper.

I love John Truby's The Anatomy of Story. He is so right about desire and narrative force. It is as simple and complicated as that. I look forward to reading his new book.

[@skellzzed8255]

Yes bring him back for television!

[@brunobilandzija1823]

one critique - sometimes sound/voice of both interviewer and guest disappears in many of your interviews and I can't hear crucial parts...besides that, your podcasts are AMAZING, you are a great interviewer, John Truby is really TOP story coach with deep, yet simple insights which are exactly on point...thank you!

Can anyone give me a link to a video listing and explaining the myth story beats? And every other genre actually 😅🤍?

[@SerapioSergiovich]

Great video. The movie could use a better ending, as I see it now.

[@ronaldlobo3370]

Good interview. I am from India 🇮🇳 and suggest watching a brilliantly made Kannada movie by name 'Thithi' which means the funeral available on Netflix with English subtitles.

Dark Knight rises is overrated.

[@NUCLEARDASH]

Yes

[@darnellmajor8895]

I think it's more like a parody on film and our obsession to have perfect narratives everytime.
