Wanted: Your Crime Story With A Reward Of $1000!

INNLIVE Contest Wanted: Your crime story with a Reward of $1,000 in cash!

“Crime fiction deals with the mysteries we all face: 

• What’s going to happen? How will it end? 
• Will good triumph over evil? Can we find order in the chaos? 
• It does not limit a good writer but makes every aspect of the human experience available to the writer and to the reader.” 

Explore the human experience through a criminal action and a strong central character by crafting an original short story between 1,000 and 2,000 words. 

To spin your saga, consider these questions:

• What is the central crime? Is it a crime of passion? Of revenge?
• Who commits it? A damaged child? A spurned lover? A resentful sibling?
• Why does he or she commit the crime? And how?
• Who is affected by the pernicious act?
• And of course: Then what happens?
• Do you want the crime to be in the opening scene, or if you want it to happen “offstage”?
• Is your main character the criminal or the wronged party? Is your story humorous or scandalous?
• What concrete details can you provide to create a believable setting and theme?
