The SPFBO contest started in 2015. Over 3000 novels have entered.

Facilitated by Mark Lawrence, SPFBO exists to shine a light on self-published fantasy. It exists to find excellent books that might otherwise have gone unnoticed. It exists to help readers select, from the enormous range of options, books that have a better chance of entertaining them than a random choice, thereby increasing reader faith in finding a quality self-published read.

This list compiles the champions from each year.
