FREE GUIDE + SPREADSHEET
A simple way to step back from the words and see the shape of your story
Stories are a million times easier to edit (actual number) when you can see the individual threads running through them.
Inside this free guide, I'll show you the Story Threads method I use to visualise my own novels, spot structural problems quickly, and focus on the edits that actually matter.
You'll also get the Story Thread Map so you can try it on your own manuscript.
— The method, explained step by step
— A worked example: the opening of The Thursday Murder Club
— The story thread map spreadsheet I use on every novel
