Author Questionnaire

If you write a mystery series featuring the novel-length exploits of a private investigator, law enforcement officer, or amateur detective, we need information about you and your books for upcoming reader’s guides from Purple Moon Press.

In the P.I. category we will include investigative journalists, insurance investigators, private security providers, other paid investigators not employed by law enforcement agencies, and knights errant.

In the police category we will include officers of all branches of local, state and federal law enforcement, including prosecutors, medical examiners, and other professionals employed by government agencies.

The amateur detectives category will include protagonists who are not paid for their detective work and typically do not have special training or education in investigative techniques.
