Workshop with Elana Gomel: What to do if your Hero is a Girl?
Manage episode 429338228 series 2996633
In response to Joseph Campbell's Hero with a Thousands Faces, aka The Hero's Journey, folklorists and academics (many of them female) countered some of the major steps and archetypes that Campbell claimed were universal.
In today's workshop we explore the some of the ideas of The Heroine's Journey with author and academic, Elana Gomel. Using her just published dark fantasy Nine Levels, Elana shows how her book doesn't follow the Hero's Journey, somewhat follows the Heroine's Journey, and eventually takes it's own path entirely.
Check out her book here.
Remember, we have a Writers Process meetup every Wednesday. Check us out.
