into a series of your own.

YOUR COURSE AT A GLANCE
A whole trilogy to imagine.
A clear place to begin.
HI, I’M KATE RILEY
Let’s write the book
you wish you could find next.
You know that feeling when a book is so good you keep negotiating with yourself? One more chapter. Fine, 2 more. Suddenly it’s tomorrow.
That’s the kind of reading experience we’re aiming for. A romance you care about, a fantasy world worth getting lost in and enough unfinished business to make the next book irresistible.
I’ve been publishing fiction since 2011, across multiple pen names, with books on the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists. I know how much planning sits behind a story that feels effortless to read.
So I’ve put that planning into a course you can follow with Claude or ChatGPT. You choose the direction. Your AI helps research, build and draft. I show you how to judge what comes back, fix what’s off and keep going.
You can enjoy making the story without having to invent your entire writing process first.
Fated Mates, a multi-author anthology published under my pen name Adriana Hunter.
THE ROMANCE AND THE FANTASY HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER
Make the magic matter.
Make the romance impossible to ignore.
A handsome fae and a castle are a lovely start. But what makes readers stay is what those characters want, what stands between them and what being together might cost.
You’ll build the romance and the fantasy as parts of the same story. Your world creates pressure. Your magic has rules. Your characters have reasons to clash, and reasons to keep coming back to each other.
We start by researching the market with your AI, then choose your tropes, setting, themes and heat level. You compare concepts before you spend weeks on one. From there, we build the characters, world and trilogy in an order that makes the next decision easier.
You’re creating your own series, with a system that helps all its parts fit.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO FIGURE THIS OUT FROM A BLANK PAGE
Big story. Clear steps.
One decision at a time.
Give your series a memory
Save your characters, world, magic rules and timeline in a living series bible your AI uses as you draft.
Build your own author voice
Create a pen-name voice skill, then check drafts for clichés, repeated phrasing and the AI tells you want to cut.
The course shows you a sample trilogy, Crown of Cinders and Silk, so you can see the decisions in context. You’ll follow a fae-court story with dragon-bonded enemies to lovers while building a completely different series of your own.
Your AI drafts the words. You read, choose and approve. Each lesson gives you the job, the complete prompts and the checks that help you decide whether the result is ready to keep.
THE COURSE PLUGIN IS INCLUDED
Follow the prompts.
Or let Romantasy Writer guide the steps.
Learn what each step does
Use the ready-to-copy prompts in your AI, read the result, request changes and save the version you approve.
Use Romantasy Writer
The included course plugin asks questions, runs the steps and saves files. You still review the work and make the creative decisions.
Start with Manual Mode for the first few lessons, then switch when you feel comfortable. You can mix both ways throughout the course.
Romantasy Writer includes versions for Claude and ChatGPT, with an install guide and video. You also get the Romantasy Genre Guide and Romantasy Voice Studio skills.
The course works with either AI. I often brainstorm and outline in either one and draft in Claude. The lessons explain where the steps differ, so you can follow the tools you choose.

FEEDBACK ON KATE’S AI FICTION TEACHING
A little guidance makes
a big difference.
“It’s like having a friend sit next to you.”
“This course is amazing. Kate covers everything and I really love her teaching style. It’s like having a friend sit next to you, showing you the ropes.”
“…they actually sound like something I’d write.”
“Kate’s unique process taught me how to clean up AI drafts so they actually sound like something I’d write.”
These students shared feedback about Secret Authors, Kate’s separate AI fiction course. Their experiences are not Romantasy Fiction Stack results.
MEET LADY VESPER
A question shouldn’t stop
your whole writing day.
Not sure what a prompt means? Wondering whether your series bible has enough detail? Ask Lady Vesper right there in the lesson.
She’s your guide inside the hub, with a question panel built into the lesson page. You can ask up to 10 questions a day. After that, questions go to the support team.
She also checks in at the end of each lesson. You have a place to turn when something doesn’t click.

BOOK 1 IS THE BEGINNING
Build a trilogy.
Give readers a reason to return.
You’re planning beyond the first book from the start. The romance, the fantasy conflict and the unanswered questions all have somewhere to go.
The course guides you toward a drafted and edited Book 1, with a target length of 90,000 to 120,000 words, plus the series bible and trilogy plan that support Books 2 and 3.
Then you prepare your title, blurb, keywords, content warnings, front matter and cover concept. You’ve thought about the story and how to present it to the readers you researched.
A reader who enjoys Book 1 has a next book to look forward to. That’s the publishing opportunity we’re building toward, one carefully made story at a time.

A FEW THINGS YOU MAY BE WONDERING
Let’s clear these up.
Do I need a book idea before I start?
No. The market and concept lessons help you research what readers expect, generate ideas and choose a concept you want to write.
Do I need to have written romantasy before?
No. The foundation lessons explain how the genre works before you build the characters, world and series. You’ll still need to read and review what your AI produces.
Does this work with Claude or ChatGPT?
Both. The course explains where their workflows differ, and Romantasy Writer, the Genre Guide and Voice Studio include versions for both.
Is Romantasy Writer included?
Yes. The course download includes the Claude and ChatGPT versions, an install guide and an install video. You can also use the manual prompts throughout.
Do I have to write a spicy book?
You choose your heat level in the Market and Concept module. The course helps you align that choice with the story and edition you want to create.
Will I finish all 3 books during the course?
The course guides Book 1 through drafting and editing, builds your trilogy foundation and shows you how to approach Books 2 and 3. Your pace depends on your review, decisions and writing time.
Does this cover publishing and book marketing?
It covers editing, front matter, title, blurb, keywords and a series cover concept. The course’s focus is planning and writing your romantasy series. Dedicated launch and marketing training is a separate offer.
What if I get stuck?
Ask Lady Vesper inside the lesson. You can ask up to 10 questions a day, with a route to the support team after that.
When does the cover-design bonus open?
Complete the course lessons to unlock the Side Missions page and Design Your Romantasy Cover, along with your completion certificate.
Can you promise book sales?
No. Reader demand, the quality of your finished book and how you publish and promote all affect results. The course teaches the process; it doesn’t guarantee income.
YOU CAN START BEFORE YOU HAVE IT ALL FIGURED OUT
The next world you fall into
could be the one you create.
You don’t need the perfect concept, a complete magic system or a folder full of character notes before you join. Those are things we build together.
Start with the lessons. Choose a story that excites you. Let your AI help with the drafting while you make the decisions that turn it into your book.
Your characters. Your world. Your series. A clear next step whenever you’re ready.
