Self Published Science Fiction Compeition (SPSFC)
The Self-Published Science Fiction Competition (SPSFC) is an annual literary contest intended to bring greater visibility to self-published English-language science fiction authors.
The SPSFC has been operated since 2021 by author Hugh Howey[1] and Duncan Swan. The contest distributes about 300 novels submitted by the authors to ten teams of science fiction bloggers to review. Each team selects its top-rated book, which is then reviewed by all ten teams. The winner is the finalist with the highest average review score.
The contest has been credited with making high-quality self-published novels discoverable,[2] and with boosting the careers of the winners as well as expanding the reading habits of the judges[3].
