"Douglas Burton has cracked the code."
—Christopher Vogler, author of The Writer’s Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers
"Burton’s prose is accessible, lucid, and concise without sacrificing detail...from the Bible to Barbie. "
—Kirkus Reviews
"Douglas finally fills the gaps of storytelling models with a feminine monomyth that feels visually, intellectually, and somatically right."
—Sylvia Becker-Hill, Certified Master Neuroplastician, Gender Researcher, and Women's Empowerment Mentor
"Burton closely analyzes a wide breadth of stories and proves his thesis that Joseph Campbell missed half the story."
—Matt Bird, author of the The Secrets of Story and The Secrets of Character
For decades, the hero's journey has had a major influence on storytelling and story structure. Now, Douglas A. Burton presents a groundbreaking new paradigm for writers everywhere. Sourced entirely from heroine-led fiction—a unique narrative arc has been hidden in plain sight, complete with recurrent patterns and powerful archetypes. Burton offers writers a full fledges alternative that's both original in its presentation, yet stunningly familiar. Discover the dynamism of story, conflict, and character development in a fresh new light. From myth to literature to TV to film, The Heroine’s Labyrinth explores story structure as modeled by heroic women in fiction. Burton's theory on story has the potential to turn prevailing views of story structure upside down.
Inside, you’ll encounter 18 archetypal designs that form a distinctive narrative arc, each one rich with profound insights and powerful new perspectives. Discover the Masked Minotaur, the Sacred Fire, the Beast as Ally, the Poisoned Apple, and more. Novelists, screenwriters, RPG gamers, and memoirists will gain immediately useful insights in The Heroine’s Labyrinth. A must-read for writers.
