Here’s a paying market for writers
of mysteries: Mystery Weekly Magazine.
The magazine is a labour of
love for the husband and wife team of Publisher Charles F. Carter and Editor Kerry.
The magazine website is http://www.mysteryweekly.com/
You can download a copy to your Kindle or get the paperback version from
Amazon. You can submit stories via email.
In March Mystery Weekly Magazine was spotlighted
in the American periodical, The Writer
Here’s an excerpt of that
article, which just happens to mention my story due to appear later this year:
‘The Carters read submissions all year long, making detailed notes for writers who request feedback. They promote their authors widely, publishing excerpts and links to Mystery Weekly’s stories via email, the journal’s website, and social media.
‘One such author is writer and illustrator Nik Morton, whose story “The Very First Detective: The Killing Stone” will be published in the magazine’s Sherlock Holmes special issue, October 2018.
‘“It’s a prehistoric Holmes and Watson pastiche featuring Olmes and Otsun (Otsun is Olmes’s sidekick as well as being the clan’s medicine man),” Kerry explains. “Aside from being well-written, it has a unique setting, which makes it especially entertaining. We don’t get many submissions that cross genres, so any mysteries with fantasy, western, or speculative treatments definitely earn extra points.”’
Go for it!
