Unlock Your Own Bespoke AI-and Make It Write Like You
Have you ever dreamed of an AI co-author that hits your voice, nails your pacing, and hands back 2 000-word scenes that feel like your work-in-progress on its best day?
Fine-Tune Your Fiction shows you, step by step, how to build a private, custom-trained language model that writes longer, cleaner, and unmistakably you—without paying GPT-4 prices for every chapter.
Join bestselling author, educator, and Future Fiction Academy founder Elizabeth Ann West, along with FFA’s co-founders and in-house fine-tuning specialists Stacey Anderson and Steph Pajonas, as they walk you through the exact process hundreds of indie authors are already using to:
- harvest their own prose
- craft rock-solid training datasets in minutes (not weeks) with Dino Trainer
- spin up affordable fine-tunes on GPT-4o Mini, Mistral, or Gemini
- and turn a chat model into a first-draft powerhouse that sounds like them—every single time.
Why This Course Is Perfect for You
A Voice That’s 100 % Yours
No more “kaleidoscopes of emotions” or awkward clichés. You’ll teach the model your vocabulary, rhythm, and heat level so its drafts land within your brand from line one.
2 000-Word Scenes at 20 % of the Cost
Fine-tunes on GPT-4o Mini cost pennies per thousand tokens. You’ll learn the trick that gets long, coherent chapters—without buying the Cadillac plan for every sprint.
Works for Any Genre
Dark fantasy? Cozy mystery? Spicy Rom-Com? You’ll see real, genre-specific datasets (including NSFW workflows with open-weights models) and learn how to adapt them to your niche.
Future-Proof Creative Control
Models evolve monthly. Your private fine-tune moves with you: upload it to newer bases, layer new examples, or combine it with RAG when you’re ready for even bigger projects.
