Catherine Riley

Catherine Riley is a New York Times bestselling author with a mild obsession with genre fiction, market data, and helping other authors figure out what the heck actually sells.

Her Own Your Genre series is exactly what it sounds like: practical, no-fluff guides to writing commercial fiction that finds its readers.

The Romantasy Blueprint and The Thriller Blueprint are packed with the subgenre breakdowns, craft mechanics, and cover-to-keyword strategies that turn "I wrote a book" into "I wrote a book people can't stop buying."

She's been around long enough to have learned most of these lessons the expensive way, which is why she wrote them down for you.
