Now open — founding member beta
The 30-Day Publishing System
The complete seven-week workflow for publishing one finished novel every month, from blank page to live book. Built by an author doing it across two pen names and two genres, 24 times a year.
Beta founding membership, limited spots available, registration closes after we have 30 people enrolled or after June 28th, whichever comes first.
When they're gone, the next opening is the full launch at $497.
You have the stories. What you need is the system.
Most indie authors don't struggle with ideas. They struggle with pace. With consistency. With finishing one book and starting the next before the momentum dies.
Maybe you're publishing, but not as often as you want to. Maybe you've tried AI tools but without a clear workflow connecting them, the results feel unpredictable. Maybe you know what you want to write but the gap between the idea and the finished, published book feels longer every time.
The 30-Day Publishing System closes that gap. It's a complete, stage-by-stage workflow that takes you from blank page to published novel in 30 days, and makes that repeatable, every single month.
24 published novels a year. This is the system.
Under the pen name Christie Winter, I write and publish one conspiracy thriller every month. Under Ravan Tempest, one paranormal romance. Same system. Two completely different genres. Fixed release dates. Every month, without fail.
The 30-Day Publishing System is not a collection of tips. It is the exact workflow I run, stage by stage, tool by tool, decision by decision, for every book I publish under both names.
Seven weeks. Seven chapters.
One complete publishing workflow.
-
The ChatGPT prompts I use to turn any story idea into a full chapter-by-chapter blueprint, premise, emotional arc, three-act structure, and a scene-by-scene outline ready to write from.
-
Build complete character profiles for every major character, identity, psychology, voice, backstory, and story role, so your AI manuscript writer keeps them consistent from page one to the last.
-
How I use my outline and character bibles to generate a complete manuscript draft using my chosen AI manuscript writer. The exact settings, workflow, and process, demonstrated in Sudowrite, with other options suggested.
-
How I take a raw AI-assisted draft and make it mine, the specific editing approach I use, how I protect my voice, and how I decide when the manuscript is ready for my professional editor.
-
How I work with my professional editor, what I send, how I brief them, the difference between finishing editing and developmental editing, and how I work through their feedback before the final proofread.
-
The complete publication workflow, cover briefing, manuscript formatting, uploading to Amazon KDP and other platforms, pricing strategy, pre-orders, and release day process.
-
How I run two pen names simultaneously on two separate 30-day cycles, keeping everything completely separate, managing two reader communities, and scaling the system without losing control of either brand.

Hi, I'm Katy Dinwiddie
I'm the founder of Bruin Forest Publishing and the author behind two fiction pen names, Christie Winter (conspiracy thrillers) and Ravan Tempest (paranormal romance).
I publish one complete novel per pen name per month. That's 24 books a year, across two completely different genres, on fixed release dates.
I built the 30-Day Publishing System because I needed it. Everything in this course is something I actually do, not something I researched, not something I theorized, not something I tried once. It's the workflow I run every month, for every book, under both names.
The beta cohort is how I'm opening this system to other authors for the first time. I'm keeping it small deliberately, so I can be present, responsive, and genuinely useful to every student who joins.
What the beta means for you
The 30-Day Publishing System is being delivered live for the first time with this founding cohort. That means a few things worth being honest about.
Some lessons will be added or refined based on your feedback as we go. You're not getting a finished, packaged product, you're getting a live, responsive course built alongside you.
What you get in return for that:
The lowest price this course will ever be. Once the beta closes, the next opening is the full launch at $497 for lifetime access. Beta students pay $197 and receive lifetime access permanently.
Your feedback shapes the course. Every question you ask, every place you get stuck, every thing that could be clearer, that becomes a better lesson for you and every student who comes after you.
You are automatically included in the complete course. When the beta concludes and the polished full course launches, you'll have full access without paying a single cent more. You are not one-and-done. You are a founding member.
This is the best deal this course will ever offer, and it ends after we have 30 people enrolled, or at midnight on June 28th, whichever comes first. It will not be available again.

Questions
-
Beta enrollment closes on June 28th and spots are limited. I'm keeping this cohort small deliberately, small enough that I can be genuinely present and responsive throughout the seven weeks. When the spots are filled or June 28th arrives, whichever comes first, the beta is closed. The next opening will be the full course at $497. If you're considering joining, now is the time. description
-
A beta course is a live first delivery of a course that's being refined as it runs. You get access to lessons as they're built and released week by week, and your feedback directly shapes what's added or adjusted. In return, you pay significantly less than future students will.
-
Week 1 is almost done being created, so hang tight, it should be up and running by mid-June at the very latest. I’ll be making sure each week is available within a few days after the previous week has been released.
-
Absolutely - always and permanently. When the beta concludes and the complete polished course launches publicly, you'll have full access to everything at no additional cost. You are a founding member, not a one-time customer.
-
No. If you can use ChatGPT and follow a step-by-step process, you have everything you need. The course demonstrates every tool used, including Sudowrite for manuscript generation, with full screen share walkthroughs.
-
Yes. The system has been tested personally in conspiracy thrillers and paranormal romance both, two very different genres with very different reader expectations. The workflow adapts to any fiction genre.
-
Yes. The system uses AI as a production tool; it generates the draft, but you edit it extensively before anyone else sees it, and a professional editor does a final pass before publication. Two human quality checks. What reaches readers is your story, shaped by your judgment.
-
As a beta student, the value exchange is clear: you receive the lowest price this course will ever be offered, lifetime access to everything, and a direct line to shape the course through your feedback. I stand behind that deal completely. If something isn't working for you, reach out directly and I'll do everything I can to make it right.
-
You retain full lifetime access to the complete course, including all lessons added after the beta concludes. You're also invited to remain in the Bruin Forest Publishing Discord community as a founding member.
