SUMMARY:ENDING: First Mystery Competition
DESCRIPTION:The First Traditional Mystery Competition is a Periodic Web Contest for traditional mystery novels by unpublished authors. \nSubmit your complete traditional mystery novel of at least 65\,000 words for a chance to earn a Minotaur Books (Macmillan) publishing deal\, including a $10\,000 advance on royalties. Traditional mystery is defined as follows: \n“Murder or another serious crime or crimes is at the heart of the story. Whatever violence is necessarily involved should be neither excessive nor gratuitously detailed\, nor is there to be explicit sex. The suspects and the victims should know each other. There are a limited number of suspects\, each of whom has a credible motive and reasonable opportunity to have committed the crime. The person who solves the crime is the central character. The “detective” is an amateur\, or\, if a professional (private investigator\, police officer) is not hardboiled and is as fully developed as the other characters. The detective may find him or herself in serious peril\, but he or she does not get beaten up to any serious extent. All of the cast represent themselves as individuals\, rather than large impersonal institutions like a national government\, the mafia\, the CIA\, etc.”  -Contest Site \nThe submission deadline is 11:59pm EST on 11/1/16. (Scroll down if needed.) \nThe original information page for this Event can be found here. \nFirst Mystery Novel Competition Rules\n[list style=”style2″]\n[li]Entrants must be at least 18 years old by 11/1/16.[/li]\n[li]Entries must be at least 65\,000 words.[/li]\n[li]Submit only one entry.[/li]\n[li]Your work must be original and unpublished.[/li]\n[li]You must be a traditionally unpublished author.[/li]\n[li]Murder or another serious crime must be at the heart of the story.[/li]\n[/list] \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)Like this:Like Loading...
