The club will be meeting on Mar 14, 2026 at 9:00 AM Pacific Time via Zoom.
Speaker Gail Carriger begins at 10:00 AM PT.
What is the Heroine’s Journey (as opposed to the Hero’s) and what aspects make for compelling narrative and voracious readers? Where do these elements originate and how do we write them?
This deck presentation covers briefly what the Heroine’s Journey is, how it works, one source myth, one pop-culture example, and how the Heroine’s Journey can be activated by authors.
