John Truby is an American screenwriter, director, and screenwriting teacher.

He is best known for his book "The Anatomy of Story" and his screenwriting courses.

Truby has developed a reputation as a story consultant and script doctor in Hollywood, working with major studios and production companies.

His approach to storytelling focuses on character development, thematic depth, and organic plot structures rather than rigid formulas.

Truby's methods have influenced numerous writers across various media, including film, television, and novels.
