Short Mystery Fiction Markets
Below is a sample of publications open to short mystery fiction. We will try to keep the links here up to date, but markets change frequently. Publications open and close their doors. Anthology projects fall through for various reasons.

We recommend reading a publication's previous issues or editions to get the best idea of what is accepted. It is common sense to read and follow submission guidelines. Editors have every right to reject improperly formatted or unsuitable submissions.
