ABOUT
Dear fantasy reader
What We’re Building Together
A space where stories don’t end on the last page
Dear Fantasy Reader is a romantasy podcast for readers who want a peek behind the curtain of the fantasy book community.
Whether you're here for a deep dive into Fourth Wing, fangirling over authors and their stories, or exploring the many moving pieces that bring books to life, this is a space to go beyond the page (and definitely the opportunity to read one more chapter).
As the podcast grows alongside Hannah’s own journey into the industry and as a write, Dear Fantasy Reader invites you in to explore, question, and experience the world beyond the page—while answering the bookish questions you didn’t even know you had!
HOW DEAR FANTASY READER CAME TO LIFE:
FROM PAGE TO POD AND BACK TO PAGE
Dear Fantasy Reader launched in July 2024 after a brutal book hangover from Iron Flame left Hannah spiraling with theories and no one to share them with.
What started as a personal outlet with book bestie, Karen, quickly found its people—fellow romantasy readers who were just as eager to scream, process, and deep dive into the stories they couldn’t stop thinking about.
As the podcast grew, so did Hannah’s perspective. What began as reader-driven deep dives expanded into conversations with authors, and continues to evolve into something even bigger.
Now, as Hannah works on her own debut romantic fantasy novel, the show is entering a new chapter—shaped not only by a love of reading, but by a growing understanding of the writing and publishing process. Upcoming seasons will expand into conversations across the wider book community, featuring authors, creators, and industry professionals, with guest hosts joining along the way to bring new perspectives into each discussion.
THE BOOK BESTIES BEHIND THE MIC
Meet the Dear Fantasy Reader TEAM
Hannah
HOST
Founder and host of Dear Fantasy Reader; our fearless fangirl-in-chief. Hannah always loved reading, but Fourth Wing reignited her obsession and sent her spiraling straight back to her Twilight-devouring middle school days (yes, she really read Breaking Dawn over 30 times).
Before joining the online book space, Hannah became a Swiftie content creator best known for being one of the first to recreate Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour Lover bodysuit by hand—her tutorials went viral, launching her into the creator world (and into the Eras Tour Docuseries!).
Paired with a Master’s in Sociology & Criminology, Hannah brings a rare blend of creative flair and analytical insight. She’s the behind-the-scenes force keeping everything on track, known for catching every easter egg with Swift-trained precision, all while bringing unmatched fangirl energy and hype.
Her love for the genre has grown beyond the page. Now working as a personal assistant to authors in the fantasy space, Bree Grenwich & Parker Lennox, Hannah has stepped into the world behind the stories—getting firsthand insight into the creative and publishing process.
As she writes her own debut romantic fantasy novel, Dear Fantasy Reader has evolved alongside her—becoming a space where listeners can not only celebrate the stories they love, but explore the world that creates them and brings them into our hands. Through conversations, deep dives, and guest voices from across the book community, Hannah brings listeners along for the journey and will be joined at times by guest hosts!

“Listening to Dear Fantasy Reader is the highlight of my day. The hosts are the kind of book besties that I wish lived in the same city as me. They are the ‘flEsh an idea out and blow your mind with a unique insight’ team. They are the kindest, most down-to-earth, and thoughtful fan girls that I’ve ever met. Recovering from a crazy cliffhanger? The pod always has me covered with the kind of emotional support reading content that I need.
Dear Fantasy Reader is truly the kind of pod that fangirls….then makes their own fangirls. From one fangirl to another, Dear Fantasy Reader is an absolute must listen.”
