It's here! Our 2008 Novel Writing Contest is now open. We are looking for mystery, thriller, suspense, sci-fi, or fantasy genres only, please. This year we have lifted the requirement for a connection to the Southwestern United States. Although we still prefer first-time authors, we'll also accept manuscripts from published authors. The full details of the contest are here.

Quick Start:

1. Register as an author on our website;
2. Register your manuscript on our website;
3. Pay the $10 entry fee from our website;
4. Submit your manuscript from our website.

Thanks to the judges of our 2007 contest, Sherri L. Board, Wendy Hornsby, and Neal Stevens.

The 2008 Writing Contest judges have been announced here.
