For those of you who write mysteries that are more on the cozy side of the genre there's Pine Tree Mysteries. I'd put a link up for this one before but the site hadn't been updated in a while so I sent off a letter to editor Morgan Drake to see if she was still taking submissions.
She informed me that she is putting together a new issue and is hoping to keep the zine going as a quarterly. She's looking for cozy, PI, and police procedural stories with no erotica or profanity. She also doesn't want cats, dogs or horses that solve crimes. If you have something that fills the bill, send it along. Markets can only stay open if we support them with our writing.

If you can write mysteries for the sixth to eighth grade set you might want to give 5 Minute Mystery a try. The editor there has cut to publishing only twice a week because he's not getting enough stories, even though he pays $50 per story. Check out the guidelines if you're interested. They supply a mystery template so you know exactly how to set up the mysteries and clues. They use stories up to 1200 words. Here's the url http://www.5minutemystery.com/
***Just an added note here, Crime and Suspense Magazine has closed to submissions until sometime in March.
