What we’re about
Welcome, romantasy fans! This is a writing group for writers in the Berkeley area who are working on stories rooted in romance, fantasy, or both—with a special focus on darker themes, twisted longing, and characters who walk the line between love and danger.
Each meeting, we’ll bring a short piece of writing (5k words max) to share, and then discuss it as a group at the following week’s meeting, giving everyone time to read and reflect.
Writers of all experience levels are welcome. Beginners looking to improve and experienced authors seeking community are equally encouraged to join.
Whether you're writing gothic castles, enemies-to-lovers slow burns, doomed queens, magical assassins, or tender monsters, this group is here to support your craft. Our goal is to write seriously and get published—traditionally or through self-publishing.
