The Golden Thread Method

Find the emotional core of your novel before you write a single scene.

  • Abandoned an outline halfway through because your draft veered off course

  • Written a full draft only to realize your story lacked emotional depth

  • Struggled to find a theme that feels organic, not tacked on

…this is for you.

The Golden Thread Method gives you a solid emotional foundation before you outline or draft. It helps you avoid endless rewrites by discovering your story’s purpose up front.

If You’ve Ever

  • Build your main character’s wound and self-protective lie

  • Craft a macro-goal that forces your character to confront that lie

  • Uncover the theme that naturally emerges from their transformation

For Plotters AND Pantsers

This isn’t about structure charts or scene formulas. It’s about emotion. Meaning. The invisible thread that keeps readers turning pages because they feel the story, not just follow it.

You’ll finish with a blueprint for your character’s growth, your book’s core conflict, and your theme…all woven together into one powerful, golden thread.
