About this kit

Fantasy and romantasy feeds run on a familiar cast: a dragon, a sword, a crown, a spell and a love story that should not work but does. Book reviewers use these emoji to rate a read at a glance, authors use them to tease a release, and bookshops use them to sort a table of new arrivals. This kit groups the look into four sets. The creatures set brings dragons and the fae, the swords-and-crowns set covers battles and royalty, the magic set carries spells and potions, and the romance set handles the slow burn. Keep a review's emoji tied to what is really in the book, so a reader who picks it up for the dragons finds dragons, and warn for content in words rather than emoji.

Using these emoji well

  • Tie a review's emoji to what is really in the book, so a reader who picks it up for the dragons finds dragons.
  • Give content warnings in words, not emoji, so every reader can see them.
  • Screen readers speak each emoji by name, such as "dragon" or "crossed swords", so keep the title and author in words.
