Your Instructor: Tom Vaughan
I started writing professionally twenty-eight years ago. I've had eight movies made and hopefully two more in production in the next year. I am proud of all the ups and downs of my career, but if you really want to understand a subject, I recommend teaching it.
I have been teaching for over 20 years now. It forced me to communicate the why behind so many of the decisions I made as a screenwriter. In doing so, these decisions became tools, accessible whenever I needed them.
As I became a better teacher, I became a better writer. As I became a better writer, I became a better teacher.
When I struggle with any of my own projects, these are the principles I fall back on.
Because of my teaching, I finally have what I lacked early in my career: a tangible and repeatable process to maximize the full potential of a story idea and tell the story I am trying to tell to the best of my abilities.
That's what these classes are about. And Go Coogs!

FAQs
#1. What if I prefer one-on-one teaching?
I get it. There is nothing better than one-on-one teaching. It's actually why I created these courses. So I could have more time to teach and develop students' projects.
The format of these courses allows me to focus my teaching time on one-on-one instruction with students who know my system, philosophy, and approach.
After you learn from the course, can also choose to work with me directly anytime as a consultant.
These courses ensure our shared time togerher is much more valuable and we can focus our energy on accomplishing clear, tangible goals.
This is a crucial point: I want these online classes to be the beginning of our relationship, not the end.
#2. What if I don't have time to take a course?
Yep. We're busy.
I had the same concern when I took an online course on... how to create an online course!
One thing I loved about the online course I took, and I wanted to replicate in mine, was how it was broken down into small pieces.
You can watch these lessons a little bit at a time, over a week, a month, or maybe in just one afternoon like one of my old live workshops.
My advice is to schedule it. In whatever configuration works best. The beauty of the asynchronous format is that you choose your own pace.
For my online courses on creating courses, email marketing, and community building, I watched one module a night. I set the time out ahead of time, and it worked great.
And remember, you own the class. Forever. So those small lessons can work like an index later on, too.
Are you struggling with Sequence 3? You look up that lesson and watch it again with new eyes.
Reviewing lessons with more hard-earned knowledge can do wonders.
And you'll get all the updates absolutely free as well.
#3. Is one more screenwriting book or class going to make a difference?
I can't speak to what books or classes you have taken before, but I believe this is the most straightforward breakdown of story structure out there and one of the few step-by-step processes for taking an idea and breaking the story available, let alone taught by an old pro.
These courses empower you to tell the story you're trying to tell, no matter your experience level.
What makes me unique is that I have been writing professionally and teaching for over two decades. I don't just know the material, I know how to teach it.
