Hey there,
Last week I shared a step-by-step Claude prompt for writing a 7500 romance novelette.
The response was great—and you all had some great questions about adapting it for different genres. Whether you're writing a mystery or a space opera, the basic bones are surprisingly similar. What changes are the specific story beats, character dynamics, and tension patterns.
To help you do this, I’ve built a flexible prompt system that makes genre adaptation effortless.
This system lets you:
Plug in pre-made genre supplements for instant inspiration.
Start with your own story idea and customize it.
Create prompts tailored to any genre with minimal effort.
The beauty of this system is that the core structure remains the same while the genre-specific elements ensure the story hits the right beats for each type of story.
Everything is organized on a Notion page for easy access and usability.
Inside you’ll find prompt inserts for:
Mystery
Science Fiction
Historical Fiction
Horror
Thriller
Romance
Bonus: A template for your own custom story
