Submissions Period Ends April 30  
 
Submissions are open until April 30, 2014 for Level Best Book's twelfth annual anthology, Best New England Crime Stories 2015: Rogue Wave.

We seek stories up to 5000 words in any genre--mystery, suspense, caper, literary, humor, paranormal, romance, etc., as long as they include a crime. Every year we publish authors who range from familiar names to first publications.

To submit to Level Best, authors must live in one of the six New England states. Detailed submission requirements are here.
 
New England authors are encouraged to cross submit to the Al Blanchard Award contest.

If you live outside New England, don't despair. You can still submit to the Al Blanchard Award, sponsored by the New England Crime Bake.

Detailed submission requirements for the Al Blanchard Award are here.
