Campbell and Writer's Journey
Vogler was inspired by the writings of mythologist Joseph Campbell, particularly The Hero with a Thousand Faces, which covers the Hero's Journey archetype in classical mythology. Vogler used Campbell's work to create a company memo of seven pages for Hollywood screenwriters, A Practical Guide to The Hero with a Thousand Faces. Vogler later developed it into The Writer's Journey: Mythic Structure for Storytellers and Screenwriters in 1992, and The Writer's Journey: Mythic Structure For Writers. Since then he spun off his techniques into worldwide master classes.
