The Hero’s Journey

It's said that there are only 7 stories or types of story which humans have been telling and retelling throughout history. Our three and a half hour video workshop shows you what they are, how they work as basic plots, and how they can help you plan and write the stories you want to tell. With definitions, examples and practical exercises, the workshop gives you the confidence to choose from the story types and stay in control of your plot. Enrol today and you can get started on this workshop immediately then work at your own pace to complete it in your own time.

What this workshop covers

Our Stay Home workshops are based on our live Zoom Stay Home Sundays, but with the added benefit of being able to download them and enjoy them in your own time, at your own pace. They take about three to four hours, with breaks, and include time for you to write with guided exercises based on the workshop theme.

The Hero’s Journey introduces you to the twelve steps that a hero takes, as outlined by Christopher Vogler in The Writer’s Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers (Michael Wiese Production, 2007). All you need is your laptop, a notebook and pen, a quiet room and some undisturbed time to yourself. Our expert tutors Kath Morgan and Jane Moss will provide the rest.

Price: £25
