ATTENTION FICTION WRITERS: If you're having trouble writing commercial fiction, please read this... DISCOVER HOW TO WRITE BLOCKBUSTER STORIES LIKE A PRO... ...without years of research and practice If you would like to create stories that resonate with your audience and sell like crazy... regardless of your writing experience or genre, this is the most important book you'll ever read. BUT FIRST A WARNING... Before we go any further, let me make something abundantly clear: This isn't one of those get rich quick books that promise you a fortune for doing nothing. Here's the deal: The system outlined in this book is working great for me, and I believe it can help you too. It's helped our publishing company sell books in multiple formats to various customers worldwide. But I'm not suggesting that everyone (or anyone) who reads it is going to make a lot of money. I don't know how much the people who read it will make. It's likely that many, or most of them will make little or nothing at all (especially if they don't follow the directions and work hard). With that said, let me jump right in and show you... EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING TODAY First of all, this isn't like any other writing book you've ever read. It's more of a "field guide" to commercial fiction than a traditional book on writing. There's no fluff or filler - just battle-tested strategies and tactics that are working right now. And it's easy to read. At 70-ish pages, you can read it in a day or two. And you'll immediately "get" the entire system our company personally uses to write commercial fiction. And even though I personally use this system to write science fiction and fantasy, these techniques TRANSCEND genre. See, you can use the same methodologies in this book to create all kinds of fictional characters in short stories, screenplays, novellas AND even novels--NO MATTER THE GENRE. For example, I currently use the same system to help professional service clients for our publishing company every month. We also used the same strategies in this book to outline high-end serial fiction books. In 2017 we published over 4 series in less than a year, averaging 3 books per series. That's roughly one book per month. As a matter of fact, one of our writers recently used the same strategy to plot-out short stories that sell for a minimum of $2.99 on digital and $6.99 for print copies. Other writers are using the same storytelling elements to develop engaging narratives that create a deep emotional and psychological connection with their audience. So like I said, there's more to this little book then "just" fiction writing. Here's a fraction of what you're getting... - How to write a fiction story, even if you've never written a book before - What they don't want you to know about storytelling - How to develop a theme that resonates with readers in 3 simple steps - The classic 3-act structure that all blockbusters follow - Why you should never write your story "from the heart" - How to create an impactful character arc for your hero - The truth about commercial fiction - Why plotting out your story first is the only approach that works - How to write a hero that your audience will immediately embrace - Countless character examples from blockbusters, myth, books, video games and TV series - Over 25 end-of-chapter action steps that you can implement in your story immediately - The 3 critical characters every commercial story must have - Why you should never have a "perfect" hero - Can you write your characters wrong?

THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO ODYSSEUS ATTENTION READERS: If you're searching for a book to explain the most important aspects of Odysseus' journey AND THE MEANING BEHIND IT, this is the book for you BUT FIRST A WARNING...This book is PACKED with page-turning information. So if you love Greek myths, you may not be able to put it down.When you buy this book, you'll learn the following: - Definition and history of the Monomyth- The three-act structure of the Hero's Journey- The key plot points of the Iliad and Odyssey- What makes a hero- Odysseus' character arc- The overarching themes of the myth- The classic stages of Odysseus journey and their meaning....AND SO MUCH MORE Below is just a taste of what you'll learn when you buy this book: This book covers Odysseus' journey through the lens of the Monomyth. By analyzing the Iliad and the Odyssey Josh Coker identifies each classic stages of the Hero's Journey.What is the Monomyth?The term "Monomyth" comes from the Greek. It is broken into two root words: 1) mono, meaning "one", and 2) mythos, meaning "story." The connotation being, the "One Story." This term was coined by author James Joyce in his most famous work, Ulysses (the Roman name for Odysseus). However, it wasn't popularized until the late 1940's when a comparative mythologist by the name of Joseph Campbell, published his seminal work, The Hero With A Thousand Faces. In his book, Campbell suggested that there are common aspects that nearly all myths throughout time have shared. These elements combine into a narrative format that can be used as an approach to mythology. Many people associate the "Hero's Journey" as synonymous with The Monomyth. Both, historical and modern storytellers have used it as an approach to analyze narratives and develop new plots and characters for contemporary audiences. According to Campbell, the Monomyth follows a three-act structure. In the first act, The Separation, a hero is called to adventure and leaves his known world for the unknown world, guided by a mentor. Once the hero crosses the threshold of adventure, they enter the second act, The Initiation. In this section, the hero faces many tests and trials, confronts his inner demons (many times represented as ghosts, monsters, minotaurs, or dragons), then goes on through stages of enlightenment. Once the hero retrieves the boon, he must return it to the normal world from which he came. This third act is called the Return. During this final section of the narrative, the hero must release the power of the boon into society in order to restore it. Many times this last act requires the hero to overcome his major flaw and make a sacrifice. Once restored, the hero and those citizens in the world are free once again to live in it. The story of Odysseus follows this format very close. Particularly, if we combine the events from the Iliad and the Odyssey we obtain a full picture of Odysseus' journey of kingship. When you buy this book you'll learn the definition and history of the Monomyth; the three-act structure of the Hero's Journey; and the key plot points of the Iliad and Odyssey. Plus you'll find out what makes Odysseus a hero and how his character arc plays out in relation to overarching themes of the myth. Not to mention, we'll analyze the classic stages of Odysseus journey and their meaning. PLUS SO MUCH MORE This book makes a great companion guide for anyone wishing to learn the about the Hero's Journey or Odysseus' adventures.But don't take our word for it.
