This year’s Bloody Scotland Festival opens on Friday the 13th of September, a date synonymous with bad luck and fear of the unknown. One of the reasons why we read crime fiction is to feel this sense of dread as we try to understand what has driven someone to commit gruesome or dastardly deeds. The Bloody Scotland short story competition 2013 asks you to delve into this dark underbelly of the crime world and the ‘Bad Luck and Trouble’ that can follow. With the aim of discovering the next big name in crime fiction, it gives previously unpublished writers the opportunity to have their work on the Bloody Scotland website where authors, agents, publishers and readers will have the opportunity to see it. As if that wasn’t enough, the winner will also receive £1,000, a weekend pass to Bloody Scotland 2013 and a bottle of whisky. Two runners up will win a selection of tickets for events at Bloody Scotland 2013. The word limit is 3,000 and the theme ‘Bad Luck and Trouble’, can be interpreted in any way you wish, as long as your work is easily identifiable as crime fiction. The closing date for entries to be submitted is midnight Sunday 28th July.
