<p><strong>Calling all crime writers and crime reporters!</strong></p>
<p>I’m seeking new true-crime stories for an anthology I’m editing for an American publisher. I’d especially like to see stories featuring serial killers from locations outside of the United States. (If you prefer to write about a serial killer who’s extremely well known to American audiences, offer a new angle on the story.) Material must be factual and fact-checked. I’m looking for well-developed content that offers the reader more than dry reportage.</p>

<p>For: Non-exclusive rights with one-year’s exclusivity from date of publication.</p>
<p>No reprints.</p>
<p>Deadline for submissions: May 1, 2019</p>

<p><strong>Contact me with suggestions and/or queries at:</strong></p>
<p>Submissions4Mitzi @ gmail.com</p>

Do not add extra lines between paragraphs or irregular spacing between words or sentences. American spelling and punctuation (i.e. quote marks, etc.). Include your legal name, postal address, and an author bio of 50-100 words written in the third person. No simultaneous submissions please.</p>

We still need materia, crime fiction 3000 - 10,000 words. Those numbers are just an approximation - we'll take longer or shorter. We are also looking for "fact pieces." These could be true crime stories, short essays on the justice systems of various nations, book reviews, kind of whatever.<br />
<br />
We also want to have some interviews. If you write crime fiction or crime fact and would like to be interviewed on our show, let me know!

<p>As Eastern Hemisphere editor of <em>Noir Nation: International Journal of Crime Fiction</em> (<a href="http://noirnation.com/">http://noirnation.com/</a>) I am struggling to connect with the many crime writers I know there are in Pakistan and India. I am still looking for stories for Noir Nation issue 2 (the deadline is December 22) and have a lot of ground to cover to include as many countries as possible. The few crime writers I am aware of in these two countries have much to offer and something fresh, I want to bring more of that to the rest of the world. So, this is a call for assistance:</p>
<p>Would folks on Crimespace help me get some names to start following and reach out to? If you know of or have a favorite crime writer from India or Pakistan, would you please post it here? I would appreciate it very much.</p>
<p>The list will remain open so other people can search them out too. </p>
