| Cemetary Dance Magazine | Updated November 21st, 2008 |
|
Fiction: Horror, dark mystery, and suspense short stories up to 5,000 words. Query for longer material. Cemetery Dance Magazine wants tales that are powerful and emotional—creepy, chilling, disturbing, and moody. Suspense/mystery/crime tales with a horror element are always welcome. Both supernatural and psychological stories are fine. Most common reasons for rejection are: lack of power, lack of originality, slow pacing, poor writing, boring themes. Response time currently averages 2 to 4 months, although it can take longer if your story gets held for a second or third read. Simultaneous submissions are okay, if noted in cover letter. Let editors know immediately if your story sells elsewhere. Please do not send multiple submissions—please only send one story at a time and do not send your next submission until Editors have replied to the first. Payment is professional rates, minimum of five cents per word, plus two contributor copies. Payable within 30 days of publication. Up to 5,000 words; maximum payment of $250. send: Query or MS looking for: Short Story specifically: Horror |

| Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine | Updated November 17th, 2008 |
|
Each issue of Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine is packed with new mystery short stories — at least seven, varying in length from short-shorts to novellas — and one "Mystery Classic" — an outstanding tale from the genre's past. Because this is a mystery magazine, the stories they buy must fall into that genre in some sense or another. Editors are interested in nearly every kind of mystery: stories of detection of the classic kind, police procedurals, private eye tales, suspense, courtroom dramas, stories of espionage, and so on. They ask only that the story be about a crime (or the threat or fear of one). Magazine sometimes accepts ghost stories or supernatural tales, but those also should involve a crime. Prefers that stories not be longer than 12,000 words; most of the stories in the magazine are considerably shorter than that. They should, of course, be well written. Magazine is looking for stories that have not been previously published elsewhere, and among them for those that are fresh, well told, and absorbing. They should be entirely fiction: please do not send stories based on actual crimes, for instance, or other real-life events. send: Complete MS looking for: Short Story specifically: Mystery |

| Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine | Updated November 17th, 2008 |
|
Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine welcomes submissions from both new and established writers. EQMM publishes every kind of mystery short story: the psychological suspense tale, the deductive puzzle, the private eye case-the gamut of crime and detection from the realistic (including the policeman's lot and stories of police procedure) to the more imaginative (including "locked rooms" and "impossible crimes"). EQMM needs hard-boiled stories as well as "cozies," but is not interested in explicit sex or violence. Does not want true detective or crime stories, only fiction. EQMM is especially happy to review first stories by authors who have never before published fiction professionally. First-story submissions should be addressed to EQMM's Department of First Stories. EQMM uses stories of almost every length. 2,500-8,000 words is the preferred range, but occasionally uses stories of up to 12,000 words and features one or two short novels (up to 20,000 words) each year, although these spaces are usually reserved for established writers. Shorter stories are also considered, including minute mysteries of as little as 250 words. Rates for original stories are from 5 to 8 ¢ a word, sometimes higher for established authors. EQMM does not accept stories previously published in the United States. Response time is up to three months. send: Complete MS looking for: Short Story specifically: Mystery |

| Parade | Updated November 16th, 2008 |
|
Parade is a weekly magazine that covers topics as diverse as the 81 million readers we reach each Sunday. Many stories involve news, social issues, common health concerns, sports, community problem-solving or extraordinary achievements of ordinary people. We seek unique angles on all topics – this is especially important for subjects that have already received national attention in newspapers and other media. Topics must appeal to a broad audience. Your subject must have national scope or implications. Reporting must be authoritative and original, based on interviews conducted by the writer. Choose a deeply cared about topic. Do not propose spot news, fiction or poetry, cartoons, regular columns, nostalgia or history, quizzes, puzzles or compilations of quotes or trivia. We almost never assign unsolicited technical/science queries or unsolicited queries for interviews with entertainment celebrities, politicians or sports figures. If the writer has a specific expertise in the proposed topic, it increases the chances of breaking in. Assignments are based on query letters of one page – three or four paragraphs should be sufficient. Propose only one topic per query. The query should include: central theme or point in no more than a few sentences; sources on all sides of the issue; the story’s general trajectory; a summary of writing credits. Attach one or two writing samples and SASE. Buys 150 mss/year. send: Query with clips looking for: Article specifically: News/Current Events |

| Harper's Magazine | Updated November 16th, 2008 |
|
Harper's Magazine, the oldest general interest monthly in America, explores the issues that drive our national conversation through such celebrated features as Readings, Annotation, and Findings, as well as the iconic Harper's Index. With its emphasis on fine writing and original thought Harper's Magazine provides readers with a unique perspective on politics, society, the environment, and culture. The essays, fiction, and reporting in the magazine's pages come from promising new voices as well as some of the most distinguished names in American letters. Some readers expect their magazines to clothe them with opinions in the way that Bloomingdale's dresses them for the opera. The readers of Harper's Magazine belong to a different crowd. They are the kind of people who would rather think in their own voices and come to their own conclusions. Seeking Reports: public affairs, literary, international and local reporting, and humor; Essays: These should be construed as topical essays on all manner of subjects (politics, the arts, crime, business, etc.) to which the author can bring the force of passionate and informed statement; and Humor. No interviews or profiles. Harper’s Magazine will neither consider nor return unsolicited nonfiction manuscripts that have not been preceded by a written query. No queries or manuscripts will be considered unless they are accompanied by a SASE. send: Query with Clips looking for: Article |

| Thrilling Tales Quarterly | Updated November 15th, 2008 |
|
Thrilling Tales Quarterly is open to submissions by writers and artists. Our guidelines are as follows: Fiction: Hero Pulp tales of up to 20,000 words. Query for longer material -- we will consider standard-length pulp novels (60K words), but primarily as serialized fiction or stand-alone book releases. We want tales that are true to the spirit of the pulps -- as such we prefer that they be set during the "pulp era" -- the 1930s. Our standards are perhaps a bit higher than those of the original pulp fiction magazines -- in general we'd prefer stories that are written in a more polished and professional manner than the original pulps, yet still maintaining the pacing, imaginative plots and excitement of the originals. We do have a certain number of "House Characters" -- characters which we will regularly feature, both classic and licensed. Stories featuring these characters will be assigned to writers that we're familiar with, so once you've gotten on board with an original story, we'll consider you for assigned work. Please send a query only and you will receive a response in one month's time. Simultaneous submissions are ok as long as it is stated in the cover letter. send: Query Only looking for: Short Story specifically: Fantasy |
