EPIC Indie: Elevating SPFBO Authors Through Empowerment and Exposure
The realm of indie publishing is diverse, sprawling, and teeming with untapped potential. The beauty of the indie landscape lies in its vibrant variety and the authenticity of its voices. That's where Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (SPFBO) comes in, an annual competition launched by author Mark Lawrence, where self-published fantasy authors vie for the chance to be dubbed the year's best.
EPIC Indie is supporting authors in the SPFBO competition is by hosting interviews and facilitating discussions that help get more eyes on their work. Here's a deeper look into the incredible support EPIC Indie provides for the SPFBO competitors.
Interviews and Author Spotlights
At the heart of EPIC Indie's initiative is the author interview series. By offering an open platform for in-depth conversations, these interviews provide SPFBO competitors with a chance to share their journey, their motivations, and, most importantly, their books. Each interview is an opportunity for authors to delve into the intricacies of their work and the unique perspective they bring to the fantasy genre.
But the EPIC Indie interviews do more than just showcase the author's books. They humanise the authors, revealing their journey, their struggles, and their victories. This not only fosters a deeper connection between authors and readers but also encourages other aspiring authors who may be considering the self-publishing route.

Amplifying Visibility
In the world of self-publishing, one of the greatest challenges is visibility. Many fantastic books remain undiscovered simply because they don't have the means to reach potential readers. This is where EPIC Indie steps in, transforming potential obscurity into deserved recognition.
By featuring indie authors on our website, we enhance the visibility of their books. The growing audience reach of EPIC Indie allows these works to be discovered by a broader readership, who may not have stumbled upon these gems otherwise. Each author spotlight and interview effectively acts as a beacon, illuminating the path for readers to explore new literary realms.
Fostering a Supportive Community
EPIC Indie is not just a platform; it's a community. The interaction between SPFBO authors, readers, and the team behind EPIC Indie creates a supportive environment that celebrates the diversity and creativity of indie authors.
Join our Community on Facebook
Through discussion threads and comments, readers can engage directly with the authors, ask questions, share their interpretations, and even voice their anticipation for upcoming releases. This direct line of communication strengthens the bond between author and reader, creating a sense of community that is often hard to find in the wider publishing landscape.
Empowerment
The dedication of EPIC Indie extends beyond exposure. It lies in their advocacy for self-published authors and the democratization of the literary world. By highlighting the calibre of talent in the SPFBO competition and wider indie community, we want to emphasize that quality literature is not the sole domain of traditionally published authors.
This advocacy empowers indie authors, validating their choice of self-publishing and offering them a platform where their work is not only accepted but celebrated. For many authors, this validation can be just as important as winning a competition itself.
