Writers are storytellers. The best of them have utilised the principles of myth to create masterful stories that are dramatic, entertaining, and psychologically true.

Based on the work of Joseph Campbell, this new and revised edition of The Writer's Journey provides an insider's look at how writers (both fiction and non-fiction) can utilise mythic structure to create powerful narratives.

Writers will discover step-by-step guidelines for structuring plots and creating realistic characters. Innovative exercises help writers troubleshoot and improve their own work. These ideas - which have been tested and refined by professional screenwriters, playwrights and novelists - will empower the writer's command of storytelling with the ancient wisdom of myth.
