Market News

Over at the Crime Scene Writers group, Lee Lofland posted a contest sponsored by the Writers Police Academy that I thought was worth passing along. http://writerspoliceacademy.com/contest1.html This is a novel writing contest with a June 1 deadline and the entry fee is $10. The winner receives free registration to one of their conferences plus your manuscript will be submitted to one of the publishers who is judging the contest. You submit the first twelve pages of your completed manuscript in any genre except erotica. You'll find the details at the link above.

Flash zine Burst is closing its doors after the Spring issue is published.
