The Best Mystery Title

Congratulations to the winners of this week’s writing contest! They are listed below. But first, a bit about our contest series. Every week we are going to have a contest on our Facebook Page. The contests will change from week to week, but the winners will always be published in the magazine. The contest winner and the runners up are chosen by a voting system, and then the editors of Authors Publish will select several additional entries from the rest to be the Editor’s Choice winners.

Below are all the winners of this week’s contest. The contest this week was to come up with the best title for a mystery novel.

The next contest starts at 9 am PST on Saturday. The focus of next week’s competition will be writing a six word short story.
