Four Market Calls

Four market calls I have come across recently…

When reading the latest Mystery Melange column at In Reference To Murder yesterday, I learned that Gerald So’s “The 5-2” was back and accepting submissions. The crime poetry deal has apparently been back for a couple of months now. Read the latest work and more here.

 

Michael Bracken shares word that according to a Facebook post, Ruadán Books will open to novella (and novel) submissions on June 1, including for "dark thrillers." Learn more at https://ruadanbooks.com/submission-guidelines/

 

Earlier in the week, I saw on Facebook from Thalia Press that they had two different anthology mystery market calls on their submission page.

 

These are the same folks who publish the Dark Yonder issues. They have a current submission call here.

 

Hope this helps. I don’t know anything beyond what I have posted for any of the sites and publications so contact them if you have any questions.
