Flights of Romantasy

Bestselling romantasy authors Tigest Girma and Stacey McEwan come together to discuss love, magic and what keeps readers pining for more.

In Australia - and worldwide - the romantasy genre is booming. For many, it’s a welcome escape from reality. From vampires to swordplay to magical worlds, it captivates our attention, and the compelling plots and high-stakes relationships keep us turning the pages.

In this session, join internationally bestselling authors Tigest Girma (the Immortal Dark trilogy) and Stacey McEwan (A Forbidden Alchemy) as they chat about their love of romantasy, what drives its appeal across reading communities and social media, and the ways their work plays with tropes and pushes the boundaries of the form.

Together, they’ll share all about this beloved, inclusive and highly addictive genre, in conversation with host Kate Cuthbert.
