Advertise on CrimeCalls™
Reach crime, mystery and thriller writers while they’re deciding where to submit next, and getting a manuscript ready to send.
We’re a new board, so we won’t promise big numbers. That’s why the founding rate is $39. Pick the option that fits you:
In short: a featured listing or a 60-day featured resource costs $39 at the founding rate (first 10 sponsors across both options), then $99. Paid placements are always labelled, and a featured call still has to pass our usual check. Prices current as of November 3, 2026.
Have a deadline?

Secure checkout by Stripe. After payment, email us your link, a one-line pitch and (optionally) a logo, and we’ll have your spot live within 1 business day. The founding rate covers the first 10 sponsors across both options.
