A major aspect of the Court TV partnership with Borders and Gather.com is the "Search for the Next Great Crime Writer" contest. Borders will publish and sell the winning book entry, while Gather.com will house the contest and all the submissions. The winner of the contest will be guaranteed a book deal by Borders via their proprietary publishing program. Submissions of mystery/crime manuscripts will be evaluated and voted on by a community of readers, writers and aspiring authors on Gather.com.
