giving indie authors the stage

Read 10 minutes of your book (whatever part you love best) and then watch a bookish friend blush while they read 10 minutes of your spiciest content.

Every event ends with a 45min meet and greet with our authors. Bring your promo material, set up a small table, and sell/sign 1-3 of your books to adoring readers. 

BtB has no desire to profit off our indies. All it'll cost you to attend is 3 physical copies of your book. *Note: There is a $150 refundable deposit.

As a thank-you from us to you, drinks and dinner are on us! Stay after the event for two drinks + an entree while we hang out, reflect, and talk all things romance.

We love & welcome all subgenres and tropes, but only accept spicy romance. Events are themed, and we try to prioritize books that align with them, but you are welcome to apply to all events regardless.

We're big on diversity and representation, and love authors and romance that embody all walks of life. We are also big advocates of human-created work, and ask that our authors and readers be too.
