Blood Ink Crime Writing Competition - Chapter One Promotions

We are on the hunt for crime stories that delve into the mind of a killer, those who have been wronged, or who seek sweet revenge of the most subtle kind.

If you can write convincing crime stories, with twists and turns that make the readers gasp for more, then we want to see it, devour it and revel in it.

Perhaps a revelation is revealed through a complex plot in a historical crime setting. Perchance the crime takes place in the mind of the perpetrator and therefore no physical crime has taken place. Expose the underhand procedures and backhanded deals in a story based on the military forces. With a Private Eye as the protagonist, a sinister world could be unravelled. Whatever happens in the story, it must be based on the premise of a crime, suspense or mystery exposed.

Your sleuth may be a regular cop, or a kid looking for an adventure or maybe a housewife who stumbles upon a grisly murder. Whoever is leading the hunt must be worthy of our attention. Whether the bad guys win (for now) or the good guys reign supreme make this writing adventure one to remember.
