The person behind the studio

Author. Filmmaker.
Builder.

Novae Caelum is an indie author, AI filmmaker, educator, and creative systems builder. He founded Novae Caelum Studios and created Fiction.show. He co-runs AI Marketing for Storytellers, a publication about applying AI to an author’s creative business.

His work connects four disciplines: writing fiction, adapting stories for the screen, building the software behind a studio, and running an independent publishing business. That combination shapes the studio’s consulting and speaking: practical conversations grounded in books, screen work, and tools you can explore.

Novae writes queer and trans romantasy and science fiction, including The King’s Weaver and The Stars and Green Magics. His stories put queer joy, expansive worlds, and character relationships at their center. His pronouns are he/they.
