Robert Ellis: John Truby on Robert Ellis



John Truby, Screenwriter, Director, Lecturer, Author

"If you want a master class in how to write strong narrative drive, especially on how to weave a complex but intense plot, take a look at the novels of Robert Ellis.

Again and again, he uses all of these techniques and the payoff is tremendous."

The seven Ps carved into Virgil’s forehead, each one removed by an angel as he passed through the seven terraces of the seven deadly sins. And then something else came to mind. The girl’s father was traveling from Chicago to L.A. tonight. For whatever reason, the doctor, the grief collector, was planning to take another human being’s soul and break it open like an egg...
