Ever After

The Toronto International Festival of Authors (TIFA) is delighted to invite you to Ever After, TIFA’s Romance Festival presented by Rakuten Kobo. The first edition of Ever After takes place at the Yorkville Royal Sonesta Hotel in Toronto, November 21-23, 2025.

Festival goers will enjoy three days of panels, readings, interactive workshops and signings with notable authors spanning the romance genre, from westerns, to romantasy, to holiday romance, and more.

Signature events include the Ever After Ball, where authors, readers and romantics gather for a night of candlelight, conviviality, and celebration. Dance cards will be filled, secrets whispered, fortunes told—and debut authors honoured in a dazzling spotlight. Further events include High Tea, a delicious afternoon of cakes, sandwiches, tea and stories, Tarot Workshops with Lori Dyan, and the Writers Craft Series featuring Masterclasses, workshops, and publishing industry panels.
