Random quote: "A lot of the people who read a bestselling novel, for example, do not read much other fiction. By contrast, the audience for an obscure novel is largely composed of people who read a lot. That means the least popular books are judged by people who have the highest standards, while the most popular are judged by people who literally do not know any better. " -- The Economist

Do you consider self-published books for inclusion? I have a series of books by a friend of mine who sells on Amazon that I would be interested in reading for the Women of Genre Fiction challenge this year. Her name is A.M. Offenwanger and the series is called "The Septimus Series." The books are "Seventh Son," "Cat and Mouse," and "Checkmate."

Sable Aradia - 2017-01-07 10:44 AM Do you consider self-published books for inclusion? I have a series of books by a friend of mine who sells on Amazon that I would be interested in reading for the Women of Genre Fiction challenge this year. Her name is A.M. Offenwanger and the series is called "The Septimus Series." The books are "Seventh Son," "Cat and Mouse," and "Checkmate."

The short answer is no.  The longer answer is in the FAQ that I'll quote here:

Currently, fiction can be added to the WWEnd database if it falls into one or more of the following categories:

  • fiction which appears on one of the awards we cover
  • fiction which appears on one of the "Best of" lists we cover
  • traditionally-published speculative fiction novels, collections, and anthologies which appear in the ISFDB
  • self-published novels which are available as standalone physical volumes by established authors who are already in the WWEnd database
  • traditionally-published shorter fiction (usually novellas) which is available as standalone physical volumes through traditional outlets such as Amazon
  • shorter fiction which appears in collections and anthologies already in the WWEnd database and is available to read for free on Internet websites
  • shorter fiction which appears for free online on Tor.com, Clarkesworld, and Lightspeed Magazine among others
  • traditionally-published non-fiction works which are directly related to the Speculative Fiction genre

So there are rare occasions that a self-pubbed book can get in - award nomination or established author's books - but the emphasis is on traditionally-published books.

It's in. I enjoyed Johnston's Ahsoka. A very good S.W. novel.

These are all in. I find it interesting that two teacher/writers, on opposite side of the world, are both coming out with post-apocalyptic works. I guess it says something about the times.

I believe you need to reread the FAQ concerning requests. Neither of these are something we'd list.

Seven Realms



These are in.

I also put in the first two books in the Shattered Realms series since it's in the Seven Realms universe.

Also, with this sort of fantasy, I have little idea how to mark it's sub-genre tags, so If you (and everyone else who read them) will mark that, it'll help everyone find similar works.
