I’m Douglas Yates, a screenwriter and multi‑book author with a background in crime thrillers, speculative fiction, and character‑driven drama. My work blends tight pacing with cinematic storytelling, shaped by years of writing novels, developing scripts, and building worlds that push characters into high‑pressure situations where truth and consequence collide.
I’m the creator of The Weaver’s Threads, a crime thriller centered on ritualistic murders, corruption, and the cost of chasing truth in a city built on secrets. Across all my projects—whether novels, screenplays, or multimedia storytelling—I focus on clean structure, visual clarity, and stories that feel ready for the screen.
I’m also experienced in digital media creation and narrative design, with a strong foundation in Creative Writing from Full Sail University. My goal is to collaborate with filmmakers, producers, and fellow writers who value grounded tension, sharp dialogue, and stories that move.
Based in Jasper, Indiana, I’m always open to connecting with other creatives, sharing insights, and building projects that challenge the genre and elevate the craft.
