Why are certain categories excluded from IAP Contests

Our annual Indie Author Project contest continues to expand each year, supporting self-published authors and introducing new categories. We are especially excited about the number of submissions in 2024 following the switch to a genre-based contest

This year we decided to separate SciFi and Fantasy; so we will have winners for both!  After the conclusion of the 2025 contests, we will provide updates on the plans for the following year.
