Get Fictional Offers Bookish Candles in Conroe

CONROE, Texas – For bibliophiles who want their homes to smell like their favorite stories, a local small business is turning the pages of home fragrance in a unique way. Get Fictional, a Conroe-based company launched by entrepreneur Stephanie Williams, is capturing the essence of classic literature and popular fiction through a curated line of hand-poured soy candles.

Williams, who began experimenting with candle-making in January 2023, officially launched the Get Fictional website that July. What started as a creative hobby nurtured by friends and family has quickly evolved into a burgeoning brand that taps into the growing national trend of book-themed lifestyle products.

Each 8-ounce candle is meticulously crafted using 100% natural soy wax, lead-free cotton wicks, and phthalate-free fragrance oils. The collection leans into the sensory experience of reading, featuring scents inspired by beloved literary works such as Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice and Sarah J. Maas’s A Court of Thorns and Roses. Beyond specific titles, the line also includes atmospheric scents like Library and Witching Hour, designed to evoke the ambiance of a cozy reading nook or a mystical fantasy setting.

The appeal of niche, book-centric goods has seen a steady rise over the past several years, bolstered by online reading communities on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. By focusing on quality ingredients and thematic precision, Williams has carved out a dedicated following within the Conroe community and beyond.

While the business operates primarily through its online storefront at getfictional.com, Williams remains committed to the local retail scene. Recognizing the importance of community connection, Get Fictional maintains a frequent presence at local artisan markets and craft fairs.

Conroe residents and literary enthusiasts will have the chance to meet the maker and sample the full collection during an upcoming pop-up event. Get Fictional will be featured at The Flourish Market, located at 401 N. Thompson St. in Conroe, on Saturday, June 8.

Looking ahead, Williams plans to broaden the reach of her olfactory storytelling. The company is currently testing new product lines, with plans to introduce room sprays and car diffusers in the near future, allowing customers to carry the essence of their favorite stories even when they are on the go.

For those interested in exploring the collection or keeping up with future event dates, the full catalog of candles is available at getfictional.com. Information regarding store hours and event updates can also be found on the business social media pages under the handle Get Fictional.
