What Is The Hero's Journey?

The Hero's Journey is a narrative structure that has propelled successful stories for centuries.

It applies to every genre of fiction, from mysteries, thrillers, and romances to literary novels and historical novels, and even memoirs.

The journey takes the form of 12 steps, including:

  • The Call to Action
  • Meeting with the Mentor
  • Crossing the Threshold
  • The Ordeal
  • The Reward
  • The Final Choice

In this video course, I guide you through all 12 steps, one by one, and share techniques for crafting each step to enliven your unique story.  

Video Lessons and More

Throughout the course, I illustrate the Hero's Journey 12 steps with inspiring excerpts from movies.

The movie excerpts are all from films based on bestselling books.

Those authors used the Hero's Journey to empower their stories. You can use this same knowledge to create a masterful arc for the story you are writing.

And there's more. You get: 

  • Lifetime access to the video lessons so you can watch them as often as you like.
  • Transcripts of all the videos, so you can read each lesson's content: a valuable checklist.
  • Creative Prompts to help you craft each step for your story. 

Exciting Extra Feature

As we go through the 12 steps of the Hero's Journey, I'll show how they parallel the story in which you are the hero: the story of your quest to write your book and get it published.

Because, like any hero, you are venturing into a new realm, one that holds challenges, but also offers rewards. 

And, like any hero, if you persevere, you'll eventually triumph.

We'll follow both stories as they unfold: the journey of the main character in your book, and your journey as its author.

 

Why Do You Need This Course?

 

Why master the 12 steps of the Hero's Journey? Because they form the essential dramatic arc of your book's main character. 

That character - the hero, whether male or female - will strive and struggle through these steps to reach a meaningful destination. If they don't, your book may never find a publisher and never reach readers.

But if your main character does take this journey, you'll create the kind of book that excites publishers and thrills readers. 

The Hero's Journey has endless variations, but its basic well-trodden path has lived for centuries.

Once you understand the form of the journey, you can apply its timeless power to the unique story that you are writing.
