You’re about to discover how a tool that has helped writers tell stories for millennia can lead to the artistic transformation you’ve been seeking.

It’s the Hero’s Journey.

And, in this story, you are the hero.

The Hero’s Journey is Much More Than a Storytelling Structure.

It’s an Elegant Roadmap to Your Creative Transformation.

In 1949, when Joseph Campbell revealed his landmark research on the Hero’s Journey — a storytelling structure used by humans since the dawn of recorded history — the findings reverberated throughout the literary, dramatic and film communities.

Campbell’s work has had a profound impact on our artistic culture. But, for all the attention the Hero’s Journey has received as a storytelling tool, a very significant point has been overlooked:

The reason the Hero’s Journey is universal and timeless is because it reflects the adventure and purpose that each of us wants in our own lives and careers.

And, if properly applied to our own journey as writers, it can help us overcome our obstacles and unlock our full creative potential.

Todd Mitchell is a successful author of young adult, middle grade fiction and graphic novels, and a creative writing professor at Colorado State University. He’s won awards, sold stories to Hollywood and developed a loyal fanbase.

But something was missing. He describes facing “a breakdown that destroyed my relationship with creativity, and with life”.

His transformation toward a new creative life featured an important insight:

That the Writers Journey is The Hero’s Journey.

And by building a template for our own lives based on this ancient structure, we can find a new level of creativity, persistence, courage and happiness in our work.

Now, for the first time anywhere, Todd fully fleshes out this transformational concept by showing you — step-by-step — how to apply the Hero’s Journey to your own writing life and, in so doing, completely reinvent your creative self.
