Writer Resources

On this page is a compilation of writer resources I have discovered and used at various times. I thought I'd create this page in case others might have an interest and also find any of them useful. One area I have particularly been interested in is Joseph Campbell's Journey of the Hero and have listed several sources for information on this subject. Recently, I have also compiled a "Table of Journeys" for my own information and use that you may or may not find helpful. This table compares the Character Arc, Vogler's Hero's Journey, Joseph Compbell's Hero with a Thousand Faces, Murdock's Heroine's Journey, and the interpretation of the Major Arcana Cards of the Tarot in following the hero's journey. A website that you may be interested in visiting for more information on Joseph Campbell is The Joseph Campbell Foundation. I will continue to add to this site, so do check back from time to time.
