If you think you know structure from what you've done in the past, think again. Old structure taught in old structure classes doesn't work. If you've read the books, taken the courses and did everything they said, why didn't it work? Because, what you were taught was wrong. Nobody buys old style, tired and obvious scripts.

Truby's 22-Step Story Structure paradigm is the most modern, exciting approach to storytelling to be developed this generation. His approach is flexible and dynamic, and enhances stories that have been written for the 21st century. His tools for writing are considered in America to be the most advanced and the easiest to understand. No screenwriting instructor works with more established writers.
