In Creative Writing Courses, How to write a book

The Hero’s Journey is the paradigm for story-tellers of all sorts, whether your focus is screenplays, short stories, novels or (and perhaps especially) memoir. And now, for the first time, we’re offering an entire course devoted to the Hero’s Journey, with exercises designed specifically to navigate you through the Journey from start to finish. Your assignments will be given detailed and creative feedback by facilitators and industry professionals Michele Rowe and me, Richard Beynon.

The course runs you through the steps of the Hero’s Journey over eight weeks. Each module consists of short and pertinent notes, examples from screenplays and books, and links to clips from a variety of films. All modules end with an exercise, to which we’ll give detailed and creative feedback.

We’ll run the course live via Zoom.
