Your Heroine’s Journey: The Writing Contest

Post date: 23 September 2010
Deadline: 20 October 2010

“There are only two or three human stories, and they go on repeating themselves as fiercely as if they had never happened before.” ~ Willa Cather, in O Pioneers!

It’s your turn.

Here’s the plan.

This is a Heroine’s Writing Contest.

I teach you the milestones of the Heroine’s Journey model, in this blog.

You write your story – one of your Heroine’s Journeys – within that model – within parameters which I will share.

The Deadline: You submit it to me by October 20, 2010, midnight.

The judging begins - three judges will be announced. I’m one of them.

Three winners are chosen.

Their stories will be in the November issue of my newsletter, Journey News (November 1, 2010).

There will be prizes!

First Prize for best story following the model: Full tuition to the next Heroine’s Journey Telecourse ($375. value)

Second Prize: 50% off the next Heroine’s Journey Telecourse ($197.50 value) or in person Heroine’s Journey I ($137.50 value)

Third Prize: a copy of Christopher Vogler’s book, The Writer’s Journey, Mythic Structure for Writers
