The Interactive Book, Basis of Our Seminar Discussion
The Fairytale Heroine: Live and Create Her Journey
Online: Kate Farrell’s Substack: farrellk.substack.com/
Release Date: October 7, 2024 — present
The Fairy Tale Heroine will publish in posts as it is written! Readers will be able to influence its content in how they engage to each post’s prompts with their comments and suggestions.
This exciting, new book, The Fairy Tale Heroine: Live and Create Her Journey, is an interactive, practical guide to the ancient foundational tales of the feminine quest with creative tools that translate their elements to our lives and times.
It will show you how to reclaim your heroine story and reinstate the archetypes, tropes, characters, and motifs of her tales in projects for all media, to tell them in modern dress. It will expand the narratives we tell ourselves and one another, while identifying with their characters who are aspects of the feminine.
The purpose of the book is two-fold: to inform and enhance the lives of modern women, and to influence and guide creative works.
We will go backwards to move forward, as far as the surviving tales and fragments can take us—to listen once again and realize with stunning clarity that her story was ours all along across millennia. Because the timeless, universal archetypes reside within us.
