Author Interviews

I would love to feature more indie fantasy authors on my blog and social media! In an attempt to be true to my readers and what they’re looking for, please submit your books in the following genres:

• Epic high fantasy
• Dark, gritty, or grimdark fantasy
• Portal fantasy or low fantasy with strong magic/creature themes

Please avoid:

• Fantasy romance, especially spicy
• Kid-friendly YA

(Sorry, those genres are fine, just not my audience.)
