Blues City Clues: Memphis Mysteries Anthology Book 6
The anthology formerly known as The Tattered Letter is now Blues City Clues. We are expanding the original concept to include not only references to a forgotten letter, but to any clue that leads to the solution of a crime—past, present or future.
In addition to a tattered letter, clues might be something that leads to the discovery that grandma had a whole ‘nutha family before she married your grandfather, or a car tucked away in a storage facility, the arrival of Fluffy on the front porch. Or a text from a stranger. Let your imagine decide which clue you will explore. Our only requirements is that your story involves a crime.
Submission Requirements:
We will start accepting manuscript submissions Jan. 15, 2021. Please make note of this date. Any submissions sent to the committee before this date will be deleted and unread. Questions? Email us!
