The Heroine's Journey: a 5 Week Course

Hi there!

Join us - whoever you are - and learn about the vibrant mythic tradition of the heroine's journey.  

Write a story in 5 weeks, with a female, male, or non-binary character of your imaginative creation (don't worry - we'll help you with this!).  

Learn about the ancient myths of the Egyptian Isis, the Greek Demeter and Persephone, and Inanna from ancient Sumeria.  

Listen as we compare and contrast the likes of Wonder Woman and Star Wars, to Harry Potter and Twilight.  

We'll be referring largely to Gail Carriger's book The Heroine's Journey: For Writers, Readers, and Fans of Pop Culture. But we'll also be referring to Joseph Campbell and his book The Hero with a Thousand Faces, to demonstrate the difference between traditional conceptions of the hero and the heroine.
