‘Nothing is Mystery’ - Call for Submissions

Many greetings on this Eid ul Fitr from the team of Author’s United. Here comes the Eid Gift for you,

Author’s United (AU) welcomes all authors for its latest project,

‘Nothing is Mystery’

After three successful anthologies about love, peace and Hiaku, we want to bring some chill to your bones. It’s about adding another flavour to our Trifle. This time around we are looking for ‘Mystery/ Detective / Thriller’. Mystery is the necessary evil in our lives. We do not want to be thrilled but yes some of us simply live for thrill. This anthology is for those ‘Thrill Lovers’ who loved being thrilled. Bring out the mysteries, thrillers and detective stuff hidden in some corners inside your consciousness. Stop being afraid and start spreading the fear. We know how much you want to be detective, just muster your courage, bring out the detective in you and solve a crime in your tale.
