The Romantasy Writers Coven
A private async community for writers building dark fantasy romance.
You don’t need another course. You need a place to actually work.
Somewhere the craft is taken seriously. Where dark romance mythology is the whole point, not a niche footnote. Where the feedback is real and the community doesn’t require you to show up on camera or keep pace with a live cohort.
That’s what the Coven is.
I’ve done it both ways. Self-published one series first. Then decided to try traditional publishing for the first time — and had a deal within weeks of my very first round of submissions. I’m not teaching theory I picked up from someone else’s course. I’m teaching what actually gets a manuscript out of the slush pile.
Every month: a new Craft Drop, a written Hot-Seat Critique, a Celtic Mythology Lore Drop, and a private Discord that doesn’t move faster than you do. No live calls. No camera. No performance.
Designed for writers with day jobs. Kids. Chronic illness. All three.
What’s Inside
- Monthly Craft Drop — 2nd Tuesday. A prerecorded deep dive into one element of dark fantasy romance craft: scene structure, magic costs, romantic tension, dark moments, trope architecture. Yours to rewatch anytime.
- Written Hot-Seat Critique — 4th Tuesday. Submit your first chapter, opening scene, or query. One writer gets a full written critique each month. Everyone reads and learns from it.
- Mythology Lore Drop — Mid-month. Real Irish and Celtic folklore, unpacked for writers. The kind of source material that separates generic fantasy from a world readers can’t stop thinking about.
- Private Discord — Async by design. Show up when you can. Ask questions, share pages, lurk. No pressure to perform.
- The Fantasy Romance Workshop — Free as your Month 1 bonus. The full 90-minute craft workshop on writing your first chapter. Yours immediately on joining.
Why This Is Monthly, Not a One-Time Course
A $67 workshop teaches you the first chapter. A course you finish and shelve. The Coven is built to be the opposite — new craft, new critique, and new mythology every single month, so the work doesn’t stall out the week a course ends. You’re not paying for access once. You’re paying to keep getting sharper on a schedule that doesn’t quit on you, even on the weeks your life does.
No live calls. No camera. Cancel anytime.
This Is For You If…
- You’re writing dark fantasy romance and want feedback from someone who lives in the genre
- You’ve tried writing communities and felt like an outsider because your work is darker or more mythologically dense
- You have a day job, kids, or a body that doesn’t cooperate — and you need async, not live
- You want craft education that treats you like a serious writer, not a hobbyist
- You’re ready to actually finish something
This Is Not For You If…
- You want live workshops or real-time group calls
- You write cozy fantasy, light romance, or contemporary — this community is specifically dark Celtic fantasy romance
- You’re looking for a marketing or publishing business course — this is purely craft
No live calls. No camera. Cancel anytime.
