# Coral Hart.

Bestselling romance novelist. Founder of PlotProse. “A publisher who writes, not a writer who publishes.”

#### Biography · 150 words

Coral Hart wrote 216 novels across 21 pen names in 15 years and got death threats from 10,000 strangers for admitting how. The bestselling romance novelist and founder of PlotProse is now one of publishing’s most-quoted voices on AI — featured in The New York Times, NPR’s 1A, Brave New Bookshelf, and Writing With AI — not because she apologises for the tools but because she doesn’t.

She has taught more than 1,600 authors her craft-first methodology, The Coral Method, through her flagship Launchpad mentorship: one month, blank page to three published books. She wrote 96 novels the traditional way before picking up Claude. An Imbali Award winner and former Vice Chairperson of the Romance Writers of Southern Africa.

Writing is an art. Publishing is a business. I stopped being a writer a long time ago and became a publisher who writes. Coral Hart · On the record
