What makes a screenplay commerical?
In today's environment, a commercial screenplay means a clear concept.
I never worried much about concepts early in my career.
Much of my early work was hit-and-miss because of it. Some scripts would sell, and others wouldn't.
At some point, I realized my scripts with the best concepts were the ones that made me the money!
I might not have cared about concept, but the business sure did.
But what is concept? And why does the film business rely on it so much?
And how do you come up with one, let alone recognize a great one?
This mini-course offers a whole new insight into what is meant by commercial viability.
Over 85 minutes, the course will cover:
- The rise of the high-concept movie.
- How to find your concept.
- How to validate it.
- How to “play” the concept in your story.
- How to communicate it to others.

Why won't the right people read your screenplay?
It's almost certainly your logline.
Hey, I get it. Loglines can feel like a drag on your creative soul. I felt that way about them through the first half of my career. I treated them as homework. Something I had to do. Something I would whip up just before I sent the script to my agent.
It was a huge mistake. So many opportunities were lost.
I want you to avoid that. I want you to love loglines the way I love them now and get your career where you want it to be.
My career shifted dramatically when I embraced the effectiveness of the logline, and I believe yours can too.
PERFECTING THE LOGLINE will teach you to:
- Write a logline that actually makes someone want to read your screenplay.
- Identify just how marketable your screenplay idea actually is.
- Identify whether your idea is worth investing the time and energy that could be better spent on other, more profitable projects.
- Form a strategy as an original creator in a world dominated by pre-existing intellectual property.
Your Instructor: Tom Vaughan
I started writing professionally twenty-five years ago. I've had eight movies made and two more in production this 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 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 enroll in the bundle, you will be eligible for Story and Plot Pro, where most of my live teaching is now focused.
You can also choose to work with me directly anytime as a consultant.
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 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.
If you don't LOVE the Story and Plot Bundle, click the button within 30 days, and you'll get a refund instantly.
But I don't think you will. Want to know why?
Because no one ever has.
