Let’s obsess over books together.

Each month, we pick a fantasy (or fantasy-adjacent) read and get together to talk about what we enjoyed, what worked (and what didn’t), and what scenes made us want to throw the book across the room. 

We’ll dig into characters, worldbuilding, romance, pacing, plots and sideplots, and all our favorite moments across the way. 

Not every book discussion has to turn into an academic analysis, though. Sometimes we do want to analyze the writing, and sometimes we just want to say, “I LOVED this part. That’s all.” 

The Mantis Book Club is your virtual space to for all of the above.

Hold on, It’s not just for readers!

On top of our monthly Book Club discussions, The Mantis Membership is a space for writers to collaborate as well.

When you join the membership, you gain access to our weekly Brainstorming and Writing Sessions. These are held on Zoom for writers who want to join live writing sessions, brainstorm when they’re stuck, talk through characters and plot holes, and start building a regular commitment to their writing practice. 

If you enjoy a community for accountability or creativity, The Mantis Membership is your space.

Come join us this month for only $7.
