Markets for Mystery and Crime Short Fiction

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.

Additional market information on these markets and others is maintained in the FILES section of our Groups Io account by Joseph S. Walker. We thank Mr. Walker for doing this for our membership.
