Do they even look at all the stories on the wonderful crime/noir ezines or is that a different category?

Michael Bracken said...

No, Monson, they don't.

Read the second paragraph on this page http://www.mysterywriters.org/?q=Edgars-Forms describing what qualifies for consideration.

The MWA only recognizes markets that pay professional rates, Monson. Online magazine, Spinetingler, is an approved market and their editors can submit work to MWA for consideration.
