The Short Mystery Fiction Society is a group of writers, readers, editors, publishers, and others dedicated to the promotion and celebration of mystery and crime short stories.
Our Derringer Awards honor stories up to 20,000 words. Editors and our members may now submit stories for consideration. Members may also submit anthologies. The deadline is January 30, 2026.
More information is available here.
