Aspiring author? Killer Reads wants YOU!

Guess what? Killer Reads are launching a new e-imprint and we want to read YOUR book!

We are on the lookout for commercial crime and thrillers ranging from police procedurals, to psychological thrillers, to high-concept thrillers and beyond.

We are looking for fantastic writing that hooks us, making us want to turn the page and find out what happens next; and characters that stay with us long after we finish reading. We want to feel moved, compelled, shocked, and intrigued.

We want to give a voice to exciting emerging talent in the genre that may otherwise go unheard.

If this sounds like you, we’d love to read your novel!

Submissions will be open from the 29th of August and the 14th of September, so if you want to polish up that manuscript you’ve got sitting in your desk drawer, now is the time!

Click on our new ‘Write for Us’ section to find out how to submit.
