Romance Writers Bootcamp

From Scattered Ideas to Fully Plotted Romance Novel + Series
(with a Proven Step-by-Step Coaching System!)

Enrollment Now Closed!

Tired of plotting your novel alone and second-guessing every story decision?

Sick of chasing free advice, only to feel more stuck and overwhelmed?

Worried you’ll waste months writing a book that still doesn’t hook readers—or set up your series?

During this live coaching experience, you’ll learn how to:

Plot your next addictive romance novel with a simple, proven framework—so you’re never staring at a blank page again.
Uncover exactly what your readers expect from your genre and how to deliver it with confidence.
Use my signature system to map out your full book and set up a series readers can’t wait to binge.
Take the guesswork out of story structure and pacing—without sacrificing emotion or creativity.
Avoid the endless “start and stop” cycle with a step-by-step process that keeps you moving forward.

What We’ll Cover Each Week

WEEK 1: Author Brand Clarity + Pen Name Strategy

Establish—or re-establish—a pen name and brand identity that connects with the right audience and sets the foundation for long-term success.

WEEK 2: Reader Expectations + Romance Genre Structure

Learn the essential ingredients every successful romance novel needs. I’ll guide you through the big-picture flow of a romance—from setup to happily ever after—so you can understand the key story beats, emotional moments, and pacing that keep readers turning the pages.

WEEK 3: Plot Your Novel

Watch as I guide an author through my signature story flow for plotting a complete romance novel. You’ll see how we shape the emotional journey, define the major acts, and build a chapter-by-chapter outline that takes the story from idea to happily ever after.

WEEK 4: Plot Your Series

Watch as I show how to take the foundation of one book and expand it into a bingeable series. You’ll see how we explore cast building, future story hooks, and the overall emotional arc that makes readers eager to stay in your world from book to book.

Give me $97 and 4 weeks of focused coaching, and you’ll walk away with a complete novel and series blueprint—designed to hook readers, build your brand, and set up your next books with confidence (without wasting months struggling alone or piecing random advice together).

About Me

Hey, my writing friend, I’m Dana.
And if there’s one thing I know, it’s how to turn books into addictive experiences that keep readers coming back for more.
In the last 20 years, I’ve gone from an aspiring author to a USA Today bestselling romance and PNR writer, developmental editor, and book coach.
I’ve published 100+ novels, helped countless authors sharpen their stories, and built a thriving writing career.
But more than that, I’ve plotted hundreds of books for myself and helped clients write and publish thousands of novels.
This is what I do. Plotting books is my specialty. It’s the foundation of everything I’ve built—and what I’ve helped so many other authors build too.
That’s exactly what this live coaching experience is about.
Because the authors who succeed aren’t the ones who just get ideas… they’re the ones who know exactly how to turn those ideas into a book that works.
I can’t wait to show you how to finally plot the novel and series you’ve been dreaming of—so you can confidently take your next step as an author.

Quick Q&A

Will this work for the type of romance I write?

Yes! Whether you write contemporary, small-town, paranormal, historical, fantasy, or anything in between—if your goal is to write an engaging, bingeable romance novel (and eventually a series), this Bootcamp is for you.

Do I have to write romance to join?

Not at all. The process I teach works for any novelist. While some examples—especially in Week 2—will focus on romance reader expectations, the overall story structure and series-building methods apply to any genre. You’ll simply adapt the lessons to your niche as you apply them during your private study and writing time.

Do I have to have a finished book to join?

Not at all. Whether you’re just starting your first draft or you’ve been stuck in the messy middle for months, you’ll walk away with a clear roadmap and plan for your novel and series.

What’s the difference between General Admission and VIP?

All participants get access to the full 4-week live coaching experience and 24-hour replays. VIP students also get exclusive private pre-session Q&A time with me and access to limited small group hot seats for even more personalized feedback.

What if I can’t make it live?

No worries! Every session will have a replay available for approximately 24 hours before the next session replaces it. Live attendance is encouraged for the best experience, but we’ve designed it to be flexible for busy schedules.

How much time do I need to set aside?

We meet for about 1 hour each day, Monday–Friday (Tuesday–Friday in Week 2 due to the holiday). Expect about 5 hours a week total. You can participate live or watch the replay within the 24-hour window.

Do I need any special software or skills?

Nope! All you need is a Zoom account (free) and a willingness to learn. I’ll guide you through everything step by step.

Will I get templates or worksheets?

You’ll receive a Bootcamp workbook to help guide your note-taking and reflection. However, the real power of this experience comes from listening, watching the coaching in action, and applying what you learn. The workbook is there to support your learning—not replace the coaching.

I have one last question…how can I contact you?
