What is Fantasy Reading Retreat?
Picture this: a whole weekend tucked away in a cozy boutique hotel with nothing to do but chat about your favorite books with your new favorite people.
It’s an immersive bookish experience meant to get you connected with other book lovers, building the community you always dreamed of, and deep-diving into the worlds that keep you up at night.
What’s special about our fantasy writing challenges?
Our challenges are about so much more than just the contest of it all.
That’s why we include creative writing workshops with every challenge we run. That’s why you also get access to an online writing group with all the participants. Because at the heart of everything we do is community. Writers in our challenges support one another, encourage each other, and celebrate each other’s wins.
Trust us: you don’t want to miss out on this.
have you been dreaming of a fantasy-focused community group?
Then this place is for you.
We host both a fantasy reading and a fantasy writing online membership group.
In our Reading Nook, you’ll have access to monthly online fantasy book clubs, author q&a’s, craft nights, member mingles, and storytelling nights.
In our Writer’s Corner, you’ll join in on creative writing workshops, guest speaker workshops, revision sessions, write-ins, open mic nights, and more!
These spaces are meant for those who are lovers of fantasy & fairytale to come together, make new friends, and do the things that we love the most.
Frequently Asked Questions

NEVER! We welcome fantasy readers of all ages (21+). Our reading retreats are designed to provide you with a little escape from reality (often into the woods), some leisure time to do the things you love the most, and connect with other fantasy lovers. You can’t be too old to have a little relaxed fun!

No! Superfans welcome, of course, but we welcome readers of all interest/obsession levels.

Our fantasy short story writing challenge are 10-days-long events where you write a brand new fantasy short story using specific themes and prompts. You’re writing alongside hundreds of other people, working toward the deadline on a time crunch to get your story in. It’s a chance to try something new, test your creativity, get some words on paper, and walk away with a finished product!
