Indie Fantasy
Self-published and small-press fantasy worth the shelf space.
2 books on this shelf, newest first.
Indie fantasy is where the risks get taken. Self-published and small-press authors are not writing to a marketing category, which is why the shelf holds cosy fantasy, hard progression, and books that would never survive a committee.
Where to start: Reviews matter more here than cover design, since production budgets vary wildly. Series with several published volumes are a safer entry than a promising debut.
