New Delhi [India], September 6: BriBooks has announced the winners of the Step-Up Authors League, the third and final sub-league of the Summer Book Writing Festival (SBWF) 2025). This league marked the last window for students to publish their books before entering the State and National stages of the competition.
Over the past weeks, hundreds of students across India published their books just in time to qualify for the festival's State and National rounds. Many joined late. Others had been writing for months but hadn't yet crossed the finish line. This was their moment and they seized it.
Recognising Determined Contributors
The Step-Up League was designed to ensure that students who had not participated in earlier leagues (Legacy and Emerging) still had the opportunity to publish and qualify for the festival's remaining stages. Many participants used this league to complete unfinished drafts, refine their stories, and formally publish their work - often in a matter of days.
"The Step-Up League is proof that determination matters as much as timing," said Ami Dror, Founder and President of BriBooks. "These students took the final opportunity available - and made it count."
