Finding Markets for Mystery Short Stories

Last week I blogged on writing short stories that sell and listed a number of sites that would be helpful to writers of short fiction. One site specifically for mystery writers that deserves special mention is the Short Mystery Fiction Society:

http://shortmystery.blogspot.com/p/markets.html

 I’ve just given you the market reference but there are many other valuable pieces of information here for mystery writers. For instance, you can subscribe to the group which discusses many things related to mystery writing via e-mail. This is a lively interactive group and you will find that writers such as myself discuss the craft of mystery short story writing and short story writing markets in depth.

Wishing you much success in your writing endeavors. Keep me posted!

    I want to underscore Jacquie's mention of SMFS. The members have a wealth of information to share and provide steady support to those of us who have less experience with writing and publishing short fiction.

    Your posts on stories, Jacquie, have great information.

      Susan,

      Thanks for your support. As noted, SMFS is a great group for short story writers. Mystery is emphasized, but the members mostly write in other genres as well.

      Thanks, Peter. I will try to make each blog meaningful and not just self-serving.
