Scary-faced scribe Patricia Cornwell has asked fans to create a telly advert for her latest best-seller.

The winning promo for Book Of The Dead (hmm, that’s an original title), will have the dubious honour of being broadcast on Five when the paperback is launched in April.

To enter, D+Cineastes should either submit a 20 second short film advert or come up with a script/storyboard for a 20 second ad promoting Book Of The Dead.

A panel of judges will shortlist three short film entries, and three script/storyboard entries. Patricia Cornwell her-bloody-self will select a final winner from the shortlist.

If a script or storyboard is selected, the winning entry will be filmed and produced. If a short film is selected, the winner will receive £2,500. Hooray!
