A creative writing mentor in inspirational book form. Imagine having your own personal mentor—someone encouraging yet honest, supportive yet empowering, who could help you set and achieve your goals, turn your moments of doubt and fear into sources of strength, and discover what you're truly capable of when you're at your best. Kendra Levin is that mentor. And with The Hero is You, she's here to help you do the best writing of your life—and live your best life while doing it.
A motivational self-care book for writing aficionados. Using a fresh new approach to Joseph Campbell's archetypal 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, this book will show you 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
Great motivational book for anyone dealing with writer's block or other writing obstacles. Whether you're a first-time writer with a brand-new project or a seasoned pro, you'll reach the end of this book feeling fulfilled, inspired, and ready to mentor the next writer on their creative journey.
Readers of self-help books and personal development books for writers and creatives like The Artist's Way, Bird by Bird, The Artist's Way Workbook, and Big Magic will be inspired and encouraged by The Hero is You.
