And then there’s us! 🩸 Keeping up with our yearly tradition, we’re introducing ourselves (again)!
We’re Diantha and Nadège: co-founders & co-hosts of IBF. We’ve been a part of the book industry for well over a decade, and we’re so grateful to still be here, celebrating our love of fantasy with you. 💜
Diantha earned a B.A. in Journalism with a concentration in Television Journalism from Georgia State University, later becoming a fantasy and paranormal author. For several years, she ran a book blog called DJ’s Book Corner and was a primary member of Masquerade Crew, an indie book blog. She was also the owner of Masquerade Book Tours.
Nadège followed her love for writing and graduated with her B.A. in Journalism from Temple University. She is a SFF author, a wedding photographer, and a human being (in her spare time). For eight years, she ran Inkstain Design Studio as an award-winning book designer.
Creating this space for fantasy lovers, with a heavy emphasis on diversity and inclusivity, has been so, so important to us. And we get to do this every year because of your support. This will be IBF’s 7th annual event! We can’t wait to welcome you next year!
