Obsessed with love stories? Can’t stop watching fantasy dramas with messy romances, magical powers, and “will-they-won’t-they” tension? You’re already in the world of romantasy…
From enemies-to-lovers and chosen ones to fated mates and emotional chaos, romantasy is exploding in pop culture — across books, film, streaming, and fan communities. But who gets to be at the centre of these epic love stories?
Join bestselling author Talia Hibbert and the team behind publishing house Tor/Pan Macmillan — Aje Roberts, Olivia-Savannah Roach, and Carol-Anne Royer — for a fun, honest conversation about why this genre is blowing up, who it’s for, and how it’s finally making space for more diverse love, heroes, and happily-ever-afters.
Whether you’re deep in BookTok, bingeing Bridgerton, or just want a good love story with a twist — this session is for you.
Come for the fantasy. Stay for the feels.
