2009 BARBARA BURNETT SMITH
ASPIRING WRITERS EVENT (BBSAWE)

Aspiring Writers of Cozies, Thrillers, True Crime, and other Mystery Genres are welcome to submit the first 500 words and a one-page synopsis of your unpublished manuscript to the Barbara Burnett Smith Aspiring Writers Event. Six aspiring writers will be chosen and matched with a published mentor for one-on-one sessions and recognition at the BBSAWE on May 17. This is not a contest – there is no judging and no fee. It is a wonderful opportunity for writers unpublished in the mystery field to get to talk to and be mentored by published authors.

Deadline for submissions is March 31, 2009. See guidelines.
