Your Cosmic Kitchen: A Worldbuilding Wizardry Workbook for Speculative Fiction Romance Writers

What if worldbuilding felt less like technical jargon and more like cooking up magical recipes?

Your Cosmic Kitchen is the craft cookbook Speculative Fiction Romance writers have been hungry for. Written by award-winning author, editor, and writing instructor Pat Hauldren, this deliciously inventive guide serves up essential ingredients for building unforgettable worlds—worlds where the setting itself becomes part of the love story.

Organized in a scrumptious recipe format, each chapter breaks down complex worldbuilding concepts into approachable, actionable steps. Whether you’re simmering a Romantasy kingdom, slow-cooking a far-future colony ship, or stirring together an Urban Fantasy city, Your Cosmic Kitchen gives you the tools to build worlds that breathe and beat with your romantic heart.

Inside you’ll find hands-on Kitchen Samples, Cooking Cautions, Easter Eggs vs. Red Herrings, and series planning strategies to keep your universe consistent across multiple books.

Pull up a stool. Fire up the stars. It’s time to cook up your world.
