WHODUNNIT?
A
MYSTERY CONTEST
sponsored by
SLEUTHS'
INK MYSTERY WRITERS
Springfield, MO
Join the ranks of mystery writers and try your hand
at writing a mini-mystery. If you've never written this genre, we
suggest you read Woman’s
World magazine, which publishes a new mystery weekly. The
mysteries are located near the back, are always 700 words, and a
solution is provided.
These mysteries are fun and interactive. And who
doesn’t like to solve a whodunnit? Put on a Columbo trench coat and try your
hand at this genre.
Guidelines
and Word Count:
Simply write a short
"solve-it-yourself" mystery of 700 words. That count must include the
narrative and the solution. Stories should be fun and entertaining with an
ending that challenges to the reader to figure out whodunnit or howdunnit.
