All the winners, and only the winners, of the Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off competition started in 2015 by author Mark Lawrence. If you're looking for a good self-published fantasy novel, this is a good place to start.

Vote for your favorites, but do not add any new titles unless they've just won the current year's competition. There can only be one winner each year, after all.

Marc *Dark Reader with a Thousand Young! Iä!* Congratulations to the 2023-2024 SPFBO9 winner:Murder at Spindle Manor by Morgan Stang.


Marc *Dark Reader with a Thousand Young! Iä!* SPFBO 10 (SPFBOX) will open to entries on Friday the 10th of May 2024 at 1pm GMT. The link will be on Mark Lawrence's website.

This year the registration will stay open for 24 hours, after which 300 entries will be randomly selected from all received.


Marc *Dark Reader with a Thousand Young! Iä!* Because I'm curious about such things, I will note that Murder at Spindle Manor currently has 809 ratings on GR. We'll see how this changes due to its SPFBO winner status. There is spike in interest in the book today shown in its GR stats; 105 "want to read" additions today, when most daily additions were previously under 25.
