The Big Click is a bimonthly electronic journal of
crime fiction.
They’re
interested in publishing quality work ‘under the broad umbrella of crime,
though of course, like anyone, we have our sweet spots. We’re especially
interested in noir, tales of the criminal lifestyle, confessional fiction,
peculiar literary specimens, and great characters. We are somewhat less
interested in tales of pure ratiocination, police procedurals, and any story
whose title includes a colon followed by “A Firstname Lastname
Investigation/Mystery/ Case.” We are not at all interested in outright
supernatural fiction, science fiction stories that use mystery-detection plots
simply to tour the future, stories about killing pedophiles, or tales of
frustrated writers of short stories who kill their obese wives. And no
vampires.’
What, no
vampires? Raising the stakes there, then…
Naturally, they
recommend that you read the magazine to see exactly what they like; it’s not
expensive, either. Issue #21 for July 2015 is available now (see cover here).
‘If
you do, and feel a deep kinship with what we publish, feel free to send us a
brief letter of introduction. We are too busy to engage in extended
correspondence, but we’re always pleased to receive notes from interesting
people.’
Payment: $100.00
for electronic rights (online and ebook) and for non-exclusive The Big
Click–themed anthology rights.
Good luck!
