What are the best self-published fantasy and science fiction novels of the last decade-plus? From The Martian and Wool to The Sword of Kaigen and Waybound, indie authors have proven they can go toe-to-toe with the biggest names in traditional publishing.

In this episode, Jim walks through four standout indie releases from every year between 2011 and 2024—one of the most successful and one of the most popular in both fantasy and science fiction. You’ll hear how these books rose from self-published beginnings to fan favorites, bestsellers, and in some cases, major publishing deals.

If you’ve ever wondered which indie books deserve a spot on your TBR, this is your guide!
