Fables and Flames Core Values

Imagination Ignited

We believe in the transformative power of stories. Everything we do – every panel, every page, every magical moment – is designed to spark creativity and bring fantastical worlds to life.

Authentic Inclusion

Our community thrives when everyone feels truly seen and celebrated. We are fiercely committed to uplifting voices across races, cultures, sexual orientations, gender identities, and lived experiences, ensuring all feel welcome, valued, and inspired.

Human-Centered Creativity

We champion human artistry. While technology evolves, we proudly draw the line at AI-generated books and imagery. Our convention exists to celebrate the irreplaceable brilliance of human imagination.

Joyful Connection

At the heart of Fables & Flames is joy. The joy of discovery, of community, of shared fandoms. We create experiences designed to foster laughter, connection, and genuine enchantment for authors and attendees alike.

Bold Innovation

We continuously reimagine what a book convention can be. From immersive storytelling spaces to unique author experiences, we push boundaries to create moments that feel as magical as the books we love.

Integrity in Action

Our decisions are guided by honesty, transparency, and care. Whether we’re curating content, selecting vendors, or communicating with our community, we act with purpose and accountability.

Celebrating the Unconventional

Fantasy and romance thrive on the unexpected, and so do we. We embrace individuality, originality, and the beautifully eclectic. Fables & Flames isn’t just an event; it’s an experience built for and by passionate dreamers.
