In February, I announced that I was an official influencer for the Small Spec Book Awards. What are the Small Spec Book Awards? You can check out my post from February, or visit the website for information.
Now, the first round of results are in and the semi-finalists have been announced!
Between now and when the finalists are announced, I will be doing a series of posts. There are 30 semi-finalists – 10 in each category – horror, fantasy, and science fiction. I have sent out interview questions to each semi-finalist, and I will be posting mini-profiles of the authors in groups of 3 every few days or so as the answers come in. I will link to the posts here as I add them.
All of the semi-finalists should be proud, and I encourage you to check out all of them and their work! So without further delay, here are the top 30 books of the Small Spec Book Awards!
