At Lumina Travel Co., we specialize in author-led travel experiences that bring your book to life through immersive literary group travel. We partner with authors to design soulful, story-rich journeys that feel like stepping into the pages of your novel—crafted especially for women who crave meaning, magic, and connection.
Whether you're a romantasy queen, a historical fiction heroine, or a teller of witchy tales—this is where your story becomes a destination.
Book-inspired travel means exactly what it sounds like: travel experiences based on your book—your characters, your settings, your emotional arcs.
We design reader retreats and literary tours for readers who want more than a book club. They want to walk where your characters walked. Dine where lovers met. Breathe in the same landscapes that shaped your plot twists.

April is the Author Collaboration Coordinator here at Lumina Travel Co.—which basically means she seeks out the coolest books (and their brilliant authors, of course) to help us craft the literary adventure of a lifetime.
She’s your go-to partner for everything from initial brainstorming to contract flow, timeline management, and keeping your inbox from catching fire. With a gift for communication and a heart for storytelling, April ensures your author-led travel experience is smooth, soul-aligned, and never overwhelming.
But beyond the logistics?
April is a lifelong bookworm, a first-class nerd, and a dedicated Trekkie. She’s also wife to an incredible husband and pet mama to Samwise and Zelda. When she’s not helping Kate plan the next unforgettable reader-author travel collaboration, you can find her writing short stories, pretending she’s a professional concert flutist, dreaming about life in Italy, and trying valiantly to fold laundry within seven to ten business days.
She brings warmth, wit, and wild enthusiasm to every collaboration—and she can’t wait to meet you.
From the first spark of an idea to the last sunset photo, we handle the logistics, planning, and launch strategy—so you can focus on your story. You stay in the loop, keep your voice, and watch your literary tour come to life.
