Hero's Journey Template

Map out the journey of your protagonist

The hero's journey is a classic framework for story writing where the protagonist embarks on a transformational journey. You'll recognize it as the path taken by iconic characters like Luke Skywalker or Harry Potter.

This template uses the circular form to help you map out where your character sets off, overcomes adversity, and returns home as the hero. It's an easy way to troubleshoot plot points and ensure you've got the sequence of events just right.
