Playing – and Winning – the Story Game at the Highest Levels…

If you’ve taken the Philosophy Techniques in Story class, you know that winning the story game is all about expressing advanced theme through complex plot

You also know that the way you do that is by adding philosophy to your story. 

And to your life!

You’ve already learned a slew of techniques that have made a big improvement in the two crucial elements of plot and theme.

Clearly, applying the powerful techniques has given you tremendous progress for your writing, your thinking, and your life. 

Knowing how to think will particularly help with your plot development AND the Detective genre. 

Knowing how to live will help specifically with *believable* character development.

So it may shock you to hear me make the following remarkable statement: 

we are nowhere close to mastering all the techniques that will
give you complex plot and advanced theme and put you in the
top 1% of writers worldwide who are writing the stories that
create the culture. -

We have to do much more.

If you want to go from progress to greatness, you have to write what I call:


The Grand Tapestry

What does this mean?

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 steps, the 22 steps, a complex character web, the moral dilemmas and the revelations, symbol, and theme, all 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. 

Will learning how to play the story game at this elite level mean a lot of hard work for you?

You bet. 

Bottom line: if you want to be significant in the storytelling industry, you have to be at least as good as the best. 

If you want to create a worldwide brand for your work, and for yourself, this is the only way you can do it. 

No matter what you think you’ve done so far, you’re not ready to win this game yet. Because whatever you’ve done, it hasn’t been enough. 

That’s why the class, The Grand Tapestry: Advanced Philosophy Techniques, was born.

In this class, I’ll show you how to write a magnificent tapestry found only in the great stories. 

They’re also stories with the best chance of selling, and selling big.

This means gaining the wisdom to write such a story and live a life of equal greatness.

These are techniques that have the power to fundamentally change your writing and your life.

It’s all about writing and living the grand tapestry.

Here’s how the class works:

• 5 live sessions in 7+ hours recorded on video for later review.

• Each session covers top techniques for how to express advanced theme through complex plot so you can write a great story in any medium.

• All techniques are profound but also expressed in easy-to-understand bullet points you can apply right away. 

• For each idea, you will learn techniques for: 

1. how to live -
2. how to think -
3. how to write  -

• You also get access to our private Facebook group, Truby Philosophy, to share and exchange ideas. 

• Each session is one step in a focused sequence for each writer to create their own unique story brand, which can be produced and/or published when the work is finished.
