While we don't use fiction, the article can be about fiction.
We don't use photographs at this time, but line art related to the
article can be used if it is copyright free or created specifically to
be used with the article.
Typical length would be 800 to 1,000 words.
Submissions should be on diskette accompanied by a printed version.
Mac, Word preferred. DOS or Windows diskettes are acceptable with text
in Word, or in ASCII. Please convert WordPerfect to ASCII text. We usually
don't return diskettes or manuscripts. We will take online submissions,
but query first.
We do accept reprints if it fits our needs.
We pay $5 for first serial rights. If we use it online at the Mystery
Connection website, The Magnifying Glass newsletter or include it in The
Magnifying Glass Almanac book, we pay $5 each.
At this time, we are looking for short, Fodor
travel-like articles about mystery or true crime related tours or landmarks
anywhere in the world.
Complete information about times, address, telephone numbers, how to get
there, what it costs, and why a mystery fan would find it appealing should
be central to the piece.
We have a format we use that organizes the information.
Articles already in the works are:
Grave Line Tour of Beverly Hills
St. Paul Gangster Tour
SF Walking Tour
