December appears to be the month of Urban Fantasy. The new Self Published Fantasy Release list has just gone live and it is a BIG month both in quantity and some of the names putting out books.

We wanted to look at Stars a little differently. Not all books will receive a story star, meaning achieving 1+ star is an achievement! Any book that earns 1+ stars is added to our indie book catalogue.

Most of the books we review will be awarded 1-3 stars, with a 4 star for masterful work.

Today we’re launching The Story Star Standard!

We’re a new professional review service for indie books, awarding stars based on craft quality. Every book that earns 1+ story stars is featured in our gallery. thestorystarstandard.com
