Raves from users… 

I’m not exaggerating: Truby’s Blockbuster revolutionized how I work. It’s the simplest way I’ve ever found to build structure, character, and theme. If you use a computer to write screenplays, you’ll want Blockbuster.

– Laurence Dworet, screenwriter Outbreak

Blockbuster is an ingenious and multilevel guide through the maze of story organization… way ahead of any other writing tool I know of.

Jeff Arch, screenwriter Sleepless in Seattle

“I used Blockbuster to plot my new Fantasy Romance series, and now there is SO much narrative drive, which I really struggled to create in previous books.”

The Problem we're solving for

     It’s a fact: the top 1% of writers – screenwriters, TV writers, and novelists – make 90% of the sales. 

     The ability to create a surprising plot with intense narrative drive is what separates the top 1% from everyone else.  

     Most writers simply don’t know the hundreds of practical, professional techniques that go into a dense, exciting plot.  

     Why is plot so hard?  

     There are more techniques that go into plot than all the other major writing skills combined.  

     So what’s the real problem we’re solving for:  

     How do you keep track of the complex, mind-boggling array of story elements that make up a great plot and a compelling story in order to write your best spec script, teleplay, novel, or novel series?  

The Solution:

BLOCKBUSTER Story Software

To solve that massive problem, you need a system of plot design that harnesses the power of the computer to handle the grunt work and allows you to get to the highest level of your own creativity. 

BLOCKBUSTER Story Software is a powerful tool any writer can use to tell a story with enough plot to compete with the top 1% of professional writers.
