The Detective's Journey

From the mind behind SS Reed's Story Fiction

comes an essay exploring what it truly means

for a creative to take inspiration and be original.



Everyone knows Sherlock Holmes

as the world's greatest detective.

He inspired a whole new generation

of great detectives in fiction.

But who inspired Holmes, and how?

For that matter,

how did those inspired by Holmes

take the idea and make it their own?



Join us as we journey across

nearly 200 years of creative history,

from the early 19th century to the early 21st century.

From America to Britian to France and even Japan.

Watch as one storyteller mixes, matches,

and plays with the idea

in their own unique way that inspires others.

Then watch as they pass the baton to someone new.



In a time where every creative asks

what it means to be original,

this book answers the question

by following in the footsteps

of one of the most iconic character archetypes

of all time.



And if you wanna know

what Story Fiction is,

give us a moment of your time.

We'll show you your place in this world.
