Keys to Creating a Great Story
John Truby is a Hollywood screenwriting teacher and consultant who shares many of the beliefs we hold about the process of storytelling.
One of the key lessons we learned from this interview is that a good story and good writing comes as a result of sound structure and a step-by-step process.

"No one in the world is doing what you guys do, combining the structural elements of story telling with the power and creativity of play.
"This is without a doubt the best writing course in Sydney. I strongly recommend it to anyone with a story to tell and more to the point - to people unsure of what the story they want to write is."
