One of our favorite funniest writers on the web--Five Easy Questions escapee Claire Zulkey--just tipped me off to a fantastic writing contest perfectly suited for the fledgling writer in your life.
CourtTV is having a crime novel contest, and the winner gets a publishing deal with HarperCollins. The submissions will be read by the best minds in pulpy mysteries, and this is the real deal.
If you submit, drop us a line so we can cheer you on. Check it out...
