Between the Pages
Where Romance Readers Gather
The stories may begin on the page, but the magic happens between them.
Join Spark Alchemy for a one-day gathering designed for romance readers who love discovering new authors, meeting fellow book lovers, and celebrating the stories that bring us together.
Spend the day exploring a thoughtfully curated marketplace featuring romance authors, independent bookstores, bookish treasures, and women-owned lifestyle brands—all while enjoying engaging conversations that go beyond the books themselves.
