A motivational self-care book for writing aficionados. Using a fresh new approach to Joseph Campbell's archetypal The Hero's Journey, Levin reveals how to be a hero in the narrative of your own process. She weaves together wisdom drawn from her years as a life coach for writers and an editor at the world's biggest publishing house with behind-the-scenes stories from a panoply of best-selling authors and career entertainers.
With over thirty exercises designed to help you reinvent your creative process from the inside out, learn how to:
- Identify your biggest challenges and render them powerless
- Start a project that you love―and stick with it
- Design a structure for writing regularly
Readers of self-help books and personal development books for writers and creatives like Story Genius, The Emotional Craft of Fiction, The Artist's Way, Bird by Bird, or Big Magic will be inspired and encouraged by The Hero is You.
