Lisa A. Moore: Best New Author Fantasy Award of 2025

In the ever-expanding realm of fantasy literature, where magic and myth intertwine with the human experience, few new voices command attention quite like Lisa A. Moore. With her distinctive blend of atmospheric storytelling, psychological depth, and razor-sharp wit, she has carved out a unique space in the urban fantasy and dark fantasy genres. It is with great excitement that Best of Best Review names Lisa A. Moore the recipient of the Best New Author Fantasy Award of 2025—an honor reserved for emerging authors who redefine the boundaries of storytelling.

A Standout in Fantasy Fiction

Lisa A. Moore doesn’t just write fantasy—she immerses readers in it. Her worlds are so richly detailed that you can practically hear the selkies whispering or feel the weight of an ancient curse pressing against your skin. This atmospheric storytelling sets her apart from the competition, offering readers an experience that is both hauntingly beautiful and deeply engaging.

Her award-winning works, "Whispers of the Selkie" and "The Bet in Nocturne Alley", have already captivated fantasy lovers, earning Readers' Choice 5-star awards and solidifying her status as a rising literary star. As she prepares to release the highly anticipated "Song of the Drowned" (mid-to-late 2025), her momentum shows no signs of slowing.

A Unique Voice with Psychological Depth

Lisa’s background in psychology infuses her characters with unparalleled emotional depth. They are not just magical beings navigating fantasy worlds; they are flawed, complex, and painfully real—the kind of characters who linger in a reader’s mind long after the final page.

"My characters aren’t just running around with magical powers; they’re flawed, relatable, and sometimes in desperate need of a therapist," Lisa quips. "I write about the messy intersections of myth and modern life, all served with a side of sarcasm."

This psychological authenticity makes her stories profoundly compelling. Readers don’t just escape into Lisa’s worlds; they see themselves reflected in the struggles, triumphs, and darkly humorous twists of her characters’ journeys.

Blending the Familiar with the Unexpected

What truly sets Lisa apart is her ability to take ancient folklore and breathe new life into it. Whether it’s the mysterious allure of selkie legends or the shadowy corners of gothic fantasy, she reimagines traditional myths in ways that feel fresh, modern, and utterly unputdownable.

"Sure, other authors write about magic and mythical creatures," Lisa says, "but do they wrap it in storytelling so vivid you can smell the sea spray and hear the selkies whispering? Didn’t think so."

Her signature blend of dark humor and immersive storytelling ensures that every book she writes is a wild ride filled with spellbinding twists, heart, and a touch of chaos.

Award-Winning Recognition & Rising Momentum

Lisa A. Moore’s literary journey is only just beginning, but her impact on the fantasy genre is undeniable. With her growing list of accolades, including two Readers' Choice 5-star awards, she is rapidly becoming a must-read name in modern fantasy fiction.

With the upcoming release of "Song of the Drowned", fans can expect even more of the moody, immersive storytelling and psychologically rich characters that have already made her work stand out.
