Self-Published SF Competition 2021: The Semifinalists Assigned to Team File 770

Two weeks ago the ten judging teams of the Self-Published SF Competition 2021 finished picking the 30 books that will advance to the semifinal round.

Here are the six books Team File 770 will be scoring in phase two –

The books Team File 770 will be reading came from these teams:

Team At Boundary’s Edge

  1. Thanks, Mike. I’m new to your flyer and it’s great–thanks so much. I notice that you post lots of information about award results. Do you also post calls for award submissions?

  2. Thanks, Mike. I was asking because I want to submit my own work for awards, not because I run an award. That’s good to know–I will keep an eye on your flyer. All best.
