BriBooks has announced the winners of the State Authors League, the final qualifying round of the Summer Book Writing Festival (SBWF) 2025) before the national competition begins. This league brought together published student authors from across India, each competing to become the top-ranked author in their respective state.
The State League was designed to celebrate local leadership in student creativity. Thousands of young authors who had qualified through the earlier Legacy, Emerging, and Step-Up Leagues participated, with rankings determined by a combination of jury reviews and book sales.
A Festival of Stories from Every Corner of India
The State League provided a platform for regional voices to shine. From metropolitan cities to smaller towns, students across age groups wrote on themes ranging from personal experiences to fantasy, science, history, and climate action – showcasing the breadth and diversity of young Indian storytelling.
“The State League reflects the literary talent that exists in every corner of the country,” said Ami Dror, Founder and President of BriBooks. “These students are not just writers – they are becoming voices for their generation.”
Recognising the Best from Each State
In each state, students were recognised under two distinct titles:
Jury Choice, awarded to books that demonstrated originality, depth, and storytelling strength. These selections were made by a panel of experienced educators, writers, and publishing professionals.
