Read Fantasy Book Critic interview with Soraya Corcoran

Howdy FBC readers and other ne'er-do-wells, we are in the midst of SPFBO 2019 while these are early days. There’s a lot of excitement and jostling afoot. While we are about halfway through our lot of thirty books, the fourth semifinalist will be announced in this upcoming week. Similar to last year, we have an exciting contest announcement for all self-published authors (including current and former SPFBO ones).

I love maps in fantasy books and are a popular part of the genre. As a cartophile, I’m always rooting for fantasy books to have maps. Which is what this second edition of this contest is all about! We are honoured to have Soraya Corcoran aboard. She has graciously offered her cartography services for this contest. Plus similar to last year, we will be footing the bill for her services.

Soraya is an amazing cartographer and you can checkout some of her amazing work below (as well as on her website). Even if your fantasy book already has a map, this is a great opportunity to have an updated one or one specially made for your liking, or for your own website. The choice is completely yours and the best part, it’s entirely FREE OF COST TO YOU.

In order to win this fabulous prize, all you have to do is describe in 250 words (or less!) why your world deserves a map and why you should win this contest! Please send in your entries to FBCgiveaway@gmail.com with the subject line “FREE MAP”!

THAT'S IT, that’s all you need to do. The contest will run until the 7th of September and we will announce the winner on September 8th. Best of luck to all those who enter…
