Review Requests and Submissions

I’m delighted to be able to say that Crime Always Pays receives many review requests and author submissions. Unfortunately, Crime Always Pays is a not-for-profit labour of love, and it would be impossible for one person to read and review all the books I’m offered, as I work fulltime as a freelance journalist. The vast majority of reviews that appear on Crime Always Pays have been commissioned, and appear here with the appropriate credit and / or by-line.
  That said, as Crime Always Pays is intended as a resource for Irish crime writing, as well as promoting my own work, I am always happy to feature Irish crime authors, established and new, and particularly new. That includes writing from Irish-born authors, second- and third-generation Irish authors, and crime novels set in Ireland. It also applies to non-fiction, film and theatre.
  If you are an Irish crime author, or represent same, please feel free to get in touch with me at dbrodb(at)gmail(dot)com. I look forward to hearing from you.

Declan Burke has published a number of novels, the most recent of which is ABSOLUTE ZERO COOL. As a journalist and critic, he writes and broadcasts on books and film for a variety of media outlets, including the Irish Times, RTE, the Irish Examiner and the Sunday Independent. He has an unfortunate habit of speaking about himself in the third person. All views expressed here are his own and are very likely to be contrary.
