True Crime

Read Ezekiel 7-9

Ezekiel 7:23 "Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence."

True crime is a genre all its own. It uses the drama of fiction writing, but the story is fact.

Some true crime stories have shed new light on guilt or innocence or uncovered new information. Most of the markets are for book length, but there are markets for shorter articles, too.

It can be a dangerous genre to try if new facts are exposed and people wanted the information to stay hidden. But it is a way to marry fiction and journalism.
