QUESTIONS
1. What is your fantasy origin story? (How you came to read your first fantasy novel)
2. If you could be the hero/heroine in a fantasy novel, who would be the author and what’s one trope you’d insist be in the story?
3. What is a fantasy you’ve read this year, that you want more people to read?
4. What is your favorite fantasy subgenre? What subgenre have you not read much from?
5. Who is one of your auto-buy fantasy authors?
6. How do you typically find fantasy recommendations? (Goodreads, Youtube, Podcasts, Instagram..)
7. What is an upcoming fantasy release you’re excited for?
8. What is one misconception about fantasy you would like to lay to rest?
9.. If someone had never read a fantasy before and asked you to recommend the first 3 books that come to mind as places to start, what would those recommendations be?
