We here at Wandwed love fantasy books, especially those by indie authors who are uninhibited in creating whole worlds, characters, and adventures for us readers to revel in. It is our desire to uplift these books and support the indie fantasy community through reading, reviewing, promoting, and publishing. You have written someone’s favorite book. Let’s get it out there!
