“Truby gives helpful techniques to use in each genre. As a Romantic Comedy author, I found his Love Story section full of practical tips and examples.”

If you are going to write a great love story, you’ll want help every step of the way. A love story should naturally take ten minutes. Boy and girl meet, they feel a spark, the rest is negotiation.
But you have to fill two hours, and you have to make the audience not only see the love but feel it, want it, demand that it happens. If that isn’t hard enough, your characters must want it, but not want it as well. It’s not easy.
Once you’ve learned all the secrets of the LOVE STORY AUDIO CLASS, you will make the audience not only see the love – but feel it, and beg you to make it happens.
The LOVE STORY AUDIO CLASS explains in detail how the subtle choreography of a true love story works, from the essential story beats to love’s many story forms, from love scenes and dialogue to how to write an enduring love story.
Perhaps the most complex of all genres, the love story is as varied as Pretty Woman, The Titanic, and Four Weddings and a Funeral. If love is your message, this course will show you how to send it in the most appealing way possible.
