Unlike so many other online screenwriting classes, the Story and Plot online workshops are taught by a working professional of over 27 years who has taught the subject for nearly as long. This is not an academic theory. It is not a glamorized interview broken up into segments. These are tangible processes that have been refined and tested literally over decades. The courses are designed to communicate layered ideas simply and clearly and to give specific, concrete steps to empower the student's writing and storytelling.

After four decades in Hollywood, I’ve worked with some of the best storytellers in the business. Tom Vaughan stands out among them. His gift lies not only in understanding story structure, but in teaching it with clarity, authenticity, and heart.
He’s the real deal—deeply experienced, deeply committed, and deeply effective. If you’re serious about writing, Tom’s guidance is invaluable.

"I've always been interested in writing feature scripts but never had the tools or the knowledge to even begin. But thanks to Tom's writing classes, I was able to write a piece that ended up skyrocketing my writing career. I can't recommend it enough, both for beginners and seasoned writers alike."

"I was floundering in the middle of writing a script, trying to hit all the structure points I had read about in screenwriting books. On page 110, and still only halfway through the script, I realized I needed some help. After taking Tom's classes, I successfully completed my first script (in 105 pages) and it placed in the top 30 of a major screenwriting contest and I optioned it. I couldn't have asked for a better result. "
