WRITING WORKSHOP

FICTION WRITING WORKSHOP 

In Master the Hero(ine)’s Journey fiction workshop you will delve into the transformative journey of storytelling by examining the timeless structure that underpins epic tales and modern narratives alike: the Hero's Journey. This workshop is designed for aspiring writers eager to craft compelling fiction that resonates with readers on a profound level.

In each session of this immersive workshop you will focus on a specific aspect of storytelling as it relates to mythic archetype and narrative structure. You will examine Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey framework and its application across cultures and genres so that you can incorporate the universal archetypes of the Hero, Mentor, Threshold Guardian, and Trickster into your own work. As a result, you will gain an understanding of how to craft dynamic and memorable characters who undergo profound transformations and growth throughout their journeys. 

You will also learn how to construct engaging plots by applying the art of narrative structure to your protagonist's journey through the stages of the Hero's Journey—Call to Adventure, Refusal of the Call, Crossing the Threshold, Trials and Tribulations, Transformation, and Return. You will explore techniques for world-building, setting development, and integrating fantastical or realistic elements seamlessly into your narrative to create immersive story worlds that captivate readers and serve as the backdrop for your hero's epic journey. 

Whether you aspire to write literary fiction, romance, thriller, mystery, science fiction or fantasy, Master the Hero(ine)'s Journey will equip you with the tools and inspiration to craft a compelling fiction piece that follows the Hero's Journey framework infused with your unique voice and creativity. 

Join us and embark on your own heroic writing adventure.
