Nominate "Bloody Fantasia" for the 2025 Indieverse Awards!
Happy New Year, everyone!
You might be shocked to see this newsletter.
“Claris, what are you doing!? I thought you said last December that there wouldn’t be a new author newsletter until the 14th of January!”
Yes, yes, I know. I wasn’t planning to put out a new one. However, the categories for the 2025 Indieverse Awards dropped, and I found out that my book, “Bloody Fantasia,” is eligible to be nominated for 22 CATEGORIES.
Depicted below is my reaction:
Me, finding out that "Bloody Fantasia" is eligible for SO many categories for the 2025 Indieverse awards: I'm glad I know all the categories so far in advance with how many I'll have to cover! 😂 #indieauthor #author #bookawards #writinglife https://media.tenor.com/5SpI78fZ8EYAAAAC/jaw-drop-shocked.gif?hh=278&ww=498

“Stunned” is the most accurate way I can describe how I felt.
Also…the nomination period for the 2025 Indieverse Awards starts TODAY!
I would absolutely love it if all of you could nominate “Bloody Fantasia” for any of the 22 categories. It would be amazing and I would be honoured if “Bloody Fantasia” has the chance to be nominated for an award (especially since it wasn’t nominated for the 2024 Indie Ink Awards last year).
