Wicked Wonders Book Fair

Calling all book lovers, literary misfits, and spicy story enthusiasts! Join us for the Wicked Wonders Book Fair, a one-day only 18+ event where authors, artists, and wordsmiths from across the region gather to share their works, connect with readers, and celebrate the written word in all its glorious forms.

Whether you're a die-hard romance reader, a fantasy fanatic, a poetry person, or a fan of something a little… steamier—there’s something waiting for you between the pages here. This is your chance to browse curated tables of independent authors, grab signed copies, ask questions, and discover new favorites. Expect everything from cozy sapphic fantasy to high-heat erotica, nerdy fiction to queer graphic novels, and thoughtful zines to laugh-out-loud fanfic anthologies.

Authors will be available to talk shop, meet fans, and celebrate the joy of storytelling in a vibrant, inclusive space.

Yes, spicy content is welcome and celebrated—because we believe storytelling should be as bold, authentic, and deliciously diverse as the community reading it.

DRESS CODE

When it comes to attire, we want to encourage comfort and expression at Wicked Eden. We want you to feel comfortable and in the mood to have an adventure! We want you to feel safe expressing yourself in whatever you desire. We encourage you to go outside your comfort zone with festive, outrageous, or fantastic clothing you never get to wear anywhere else.

VOLUNTEERS

We LOVE volunteers! Join our team of community volunteers, and you will find new friends, a support system, and a tight-knit center of empowerment.

By volunteering with us, you can make a meaningful impact on people's lives. Still, you will also get perks such as discounted or free access to our events and classes and, most importantly, collaborative input into what we do here. Your ideas are important to us, and as a volunteer, we want you to feel like you're part of our community: one that celebrates who you are and supports your journey.

INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY

We're committed to inclusivity. Our community is a tapestry of individuals from diverse racial, ethnic, and social backgrounds, including all gender identities and expressions. We encourage everyone to engage with empathy and curiosity, always asking rather than assuming someone's identity or preferences. Our space is and always will be wheelchair accessible, with multiple spaces for varying sensory needs.
