Writing Tips: The Anatomy Of Genres With John Truby

[@J.J.Parson]

John Truby is the GOAT! I've read and studied 5 top selling story coaches and Truby is my bible for learning story telling. The amount of skull sweat and insight he put into defining what makes a story great - and teaching writers how to do this without being formulaic is incredible. I'm am so thrilled about this new book - and the timing makes me wonder if I'm carrying a horseshoe in an uncomfortable place!

It is an incredible book. I am looking forward to getting back into it again.

Thank you, Joanna & John. That was brilliant. As a sci-fi author it was extremely helpful. I'm going to buy John's book now!

I am definitely taking notes. I am working on military science fantasy, and I have one faction that magic works like technology. A arcane punk style, has fantasy tropes but reads like science fiction.

Loving the book already. It's what I've been waiting for for years

[@thecreativepenn]

Me too. It's excellent.

[@mr_reborn]

This is a lovely podcast, it sounds like something you'd find on Radio 4.

[@thecreativepenn]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@Silverdrop-y4j]

I got the book!

[@canaisyoung3601]

So did I. Now all I need is Anatomy of Story.

[@theatheistpaladin]

Yes, star wars is also a military science fantasy, And epic operatic saga.

Do you have a intro on book NFTs?

[@thecreativepenn]

Yes :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/roW8oop7p7eSZ6s

[@J.Rose9210]

Very annoying and disappointing that there’s 22 minutes of preamble before getting the the featured guest. Either do a chapter marker so we can jump forward or save the rest of the non-John Truby related info for the end.

If you look beneath the video, I always include a timestamp where the interview starts. I've been podcasting since 2009 and always have an introduction.

[@FrogWhite-p2e]

This is a very long intro nonetheless. The timestamp has to be properly put in the decription, otherwise, it will not show on the video. ​@@thecreativepenn
