The Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off is an annual literary contest intended to bring greater visibility to self-published English-language fantasy authors. The SPFBO has been operated since 2015 by the author Mark Lawrence. He distributes about 300 novels submitted by the authors to ten fantasy bloggers to review. The contest has been credited with making high-quality self-published novels discoverable, and with boosting the careers of the winners.
