Did you know there's such a thing as Self-Published Fantasy Month? Neither did I before reading about it in Virginia McClain's newsletter. Apparently September is devoted to self-published fantasy, at least, according to this website. I wish I'd learned about this sooner so I could come up with more ways to celebrate. Of course, the best way to do so is to buy, read, and review self-published fantasy. I've decided to drop the prices of my Season Avatars books and Ordinary Wonders collection to $0.99 for September to make those works more accessible. The website I linked to also suggests posting about your favorite self-published fantasy authors.
Here's a list of authors I've read and enjoyed, along with general descriptions of their works:
Christine Pope (fairy tale retellings and a series about witches; I've read more of the former than the latter)
Lindsay Buroker (action-packed stories with humorous characters in a secondary world)
H.L. Burke (she has a couple of different series, including a steampunk one and one involving magicians)
Charlotte E. English (Modern Magick series, about an English society trying to save magic)
Aviva Rothschild (The Beatles as characters in a D&D type world)
I'm sure there are more that I can't remember at the moment, and this doesn't even include cozy mystery authors who include fantastic elements in their stories.
Do you have any favorite self-published fantasy authors? Feel free to tell me about them in the comments.
I didn't know it was a thing either. I know lots of fantasy authors like you who are self-published, like Tara Tyler and Roland Yeomans.
