What Is The Hero's Journey?

The Hero's Journey is a narrative structure that has been the foundation of compelling 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 course, I guide you through all of the 12 steps and share techniques for using each one to enliven and enrich your unique story.  

Video Lessons and More

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

You'll enjoy seeing how these film clips bring to life key aspects of storytelling.

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

Those authors used the Hero's Journey to empower their stories, and you can use this same knowledge to create a meaningful 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.
• Self-study exercises to help you craft each step for your story. 

Exciting Extra Feature

As we go through the Hero's Journey, I'll show you something fascinating: how it parallels 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 can eventually triumph.

I know, because years ago I took the same journey with my first novel. Now, ten novels later, I share insights from my 30 years in the book business. 

So, in this course we'll follow the journey of the main character in several successful novels,  plus your journey as your book's creator.
