Entries have opened for the Crime Writers Association Debut Dagger competition. Budding crime writers can enter the competition from now until the closing date of 2nd February 2013.
The competition offers a prize of £700 and all shortlisted entrants receive a professional assessment of their entries.
The shortlist will be announced at CRIMEFEST in May, and the winner announced at the glitzy CWA Awards Ceremony in July 2013.
To enter you’ll need a 500 – 1000 word synopsis and the first 3000 words (or fewer) of your novel, plus you’ll need to complete the entry form, pay the entry fee and ensure you’re abiding by the competition rules.

Thanks, CTG – a really good incentive. I’ll be travelling this winter and will have some time to give to my neglected crime novel. Anyone else going to enter?

Possibly me, but I’ll have to give my current WIP a good polish up! Anyone else?
