Our dark fantasy novel The Black Lily is a contestant for SPFBO 6. SPFBO is short for Self-Published Fantasy Blog Off. It is a competition for self-published fantasy books that is currently in its sixth year.
This year, 300 books were entered in the competition. We’re currently in the first round, where the 10 judges read (and often review) the 30 books, weeding out the ones that won’t go on to the semi-finals.
After that, each blogger chooses their favorite book to go on to the semi-finals (10 total). Then, they each read the semi-finalist and choose their favorite book from those. The one with the most votes is the winner.
The judge assigned to our book is Kitty G, a booktuber. Her channel can be found here.
We adore our book, but the competition is fierce. While we have no expectations of winning, we would be happy if we just got a review from Kitty G, as she has a large audience (15.1K subscribers)!
