Built by a published romantasy author

I built the planner
I needed.

I got tired of copying beats from other writers online, cross-referencing tropes in five different tabs, and staring at a plot board going wait... was that supposed to go there? So I simplified it. One place. 13 romance-native beats. A character builder. A scene planner that already knows what the scene is for.

Everything a romance novel needs.

Nothing it doesn't.

13 Romance-Native Beats

Wound. First Friction. Want. Reveal. Dark Moment. Plus eight more. Beat-by-beat hints written by a romantasy author who got tired of cross-referencing five different beat sheets to figure out what was supposed to go where.

Contradiction-First Heroines

Strong is not the goal. Contradiction is. Brave AND petty. Loyal AND jealous. The character arc builder walks you through wound, want, misbelief, and the contradiction that makes her real.

Scenes That Already Know Why

Generate scenes from your beats. The planner pre-fills each scene with the beat guidance and your notes... so when you open a blank page, the bones of why this scene exists are already there.

Why this exists

I write around a 9 to 5, two kids, and the only quiet hour I get is after they're asleep.

I do not have time to keep copying and pasting beat sheets from random writing teachers online, cross-referencing trope guides across five different tabs, and staring at the result going wait... was that actually supposed to go there?

So I simplified it. Built the planner I wished existed. 13 romance-native beats. A character builder that runs on contradiction. A scene generator that pre-loads beat guidance into every blank page. Everything in one place, made for romance writers.

The free version is the same one I use to plan my next book. Forever. No card. No catch.

Questions you're already asking

Why not just use Scrivener?

Scrivener is a word processor. Romancery is the planning brain that hands the bones to whatever you draft in. Use them together... most of my Pro users do.

Will my book data ever be sold or used for AI training?

No. Your manuscript is yours. Nothing is used for training anything. Export to Markdown or Word any time, with one click.

What happens if I cancel Pro?

You keep your free project forever. Other projects stay in your account, view-only, the moment you re-upgrade they unlock again. No data is deleted.

Is this for indie or traditionally published writers?

Both. A romance novel has the same emotional shape no matter who publishes it. I'm indie. Plenty of my users are pursuing trad. The beats do not care.

Do I have to use the 13 beats?

No. You can ignore them and use the scene planner alone. But the beats are why most people stay... they are the thing nothing else gives you.

Will this work on my phone?

Yes. Romancery is a PWA. Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app, fullscreen, on any phone or tablet. No app store, no review, just there.
