Let’s rewind to 2016, where two smut-loving English students decided a book blog just wasn’t cutting it when it came to showing love to indie romance authors. We needed something more.
And so, Indie Love Wales was created.
Since 2018, we’ve been hosting epic annual indie romance writing retreats, organising local author meet-ups and in 2023 we hosted our first ever inclusive romance book signing in Cardiff! Welcoming over 50 authors and 150 readers, we’ve been investing in the Welsh romance community.
For authors, we’re all about creating a super safe and supportive space where you can learn, grow, network and collaborate.
Think of us as your personal cheerleader squad, your writing buddies, your go to for asking the ‘silly’ questions and your safe space, all rolled into one! (And no, we’re definitely not a cult—just passionate about people, romance and self-publishing.)
For readers, bloggers and everyone else in the bookish community, we’re your low maintenance book bestie.
We’ll grab dinner or coffee and chat about the finer points of what STFUATTDLAGG means. We’ll rave about our favorite books and swap recommendations that will have you blushing on the bus. And when you tell us you want more local inclusive events, we’ll make it happen.
So, grab a cuppa (or a cocktail) and join our creative, crazy book community!
