Gail Carriger brings her cheeky comedic tone and over a decade of making her living as a fiction author to this fascinating look at one of the most popular yet neglected narratives of our time. In this hour long presentation Gail will be giving an overview of the Heroine’s Journey. She will briefly cover what it is, how it works, one source myth, one pop-culture example, and then how it can be activated. Based on her popular book The Heroine’s Journey.
