Why we are
Romancing the Midwest is currently undergoing a change in management. Rest assured, Chelsea, RTM’s founder, remains dedicated to ensuring this book fair receives the care and attention it deserves. That commitment includes finding an individual who can not only make this event amazing, but who is also deeply passionate about the romance genre and the community within it.
Please check back soon for an official announcement.
We're not here to follow trends—we're here to build something timeless. With a blend of creativity, strategy, and heart, we help stories come to life.
