According to sources, fantasy is attracting more and more young people, especially through trends like 'BookTok' on social media. Authors Sophia Larsson and Beatrice Lindéh observed that young readers were missing from the audience when they attended Litteraturens lördag last year. In response, they decided to organize their own fantasy-inspired fair to reach young people and promote their reading interest.
' The fair is not just about books and reading, but also about community. ' The specific date or location for the fair has not been announced, and it is unclear how many attendees are expected. The organizers aim to foster connections among enthusiasts in the fantasy genre.
Fantasy has seen an upswing especially for young people, partly due to things like BookTok, Instagram, and all social media where people share books.
Because it is so niche, it can be difficult to find friends if you are interested in role-playing games, board games, or reading.
We want to create an event where people can meet, where nerds can meet other nerds.
