Romantasy in the Red Room is coming to Perth — and it’s unlike anything the local bookish community has seen before.

Presented by Shadow Kissed Books, R3 lands at the Riverview Rooms, Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre on Sunday 8 November 2026, bringing together 20+ authors, a curated line-up of vendors, and hundreds of readers who all speak the same love language: dark magic, slow burns, and morally grey love interests who absolutely should not be your type.

This isn’t a sterile convention hall signing queue. Step into an atmosphere built for romance, romantasy, fantasy, and sci-fi lovers — with roaming performers weaving through the crowd and a whole day designed to feel like you’ve walked straight into your favourite book. Meet the authors behind the worlds you never want to leave, get your most-loved (and most dog-eared) books signed, and browse vendors selling everything from beautifully bookish treasures to deliciously cheeky finds you won’t want to explain to your mum.

With three ticket tiers — Blush, Ruby, and Crimson — there’s a way in for every kind of reader, from first-timers dipping a toe into the community to VIPs after the full immersive experience, complete with exclusive swag.

Whether you’re a die-hard romantasy reader, a fantasy fan chasing your next book boyfriend (or villain), or simply looking for your people, Romantasy in the Red Room is where Perth’s bookish hearts come together for one unforgettable Sunday.
