“Fourth listen to Grand Tapestry; class 2 is the best contribution to storycraft in the last 100 years, and the classifying/categorizing of genre in session 5 will be the greatest in the next hundred.“
“The three biggest publishers in Norway now want to give me a contract less than a week after I sent them my manuscript. A huge thanks to John Truby for all your wonderful insights and knowledge in this class. It has helped me tremendously!“
“An absolutely brilliant class. And we are all so very lucky to be in this elite group. No one else on the planet is teaching story technique at this level.“
Fact: if you want to get into the top 1% of writers worldwide who are writing the stories that create the culture, if you want to go from progress to greatness, you have to write…
In any story that is going to work at the top professional level, you have to connect hundreds of story elements into a beautifully woven tapestry.
Not just all the beats of 2-4 genres, but the elements of premise, the 7 structure steps, the 22 structure steps, a complex character web, the moral dilemmas and revelations, symbol, and theme, sequenced in a scene list to create the maximum narrative drive, all condensed down, in miniature, into scene and dialogue.
It’s all about seeing your story as a grand system, a “Grand Tapestry” of complex plot and advanced theme that overwhelms the reader with power and pleasure.
Bottom line: if you want to be significant in the storytelling industry, you have to be at least as good as the best.
That’s why The Grand Tapestry Story: Advanced Philosophy Techniques in Story was born.
In this class, I’ll show you how to write a magnificent tapestry found only in the great stories.
