Mystery, Crime, and Mayhem (MCM) is a quarterly mystery magazine. We are a closed Syndicate of over a dozen mystery authors, writing stories inspired by a single theme.
Some of the issues stick to a single genre of mystery, such as the first issue, Private Eyes. It’s all about the private investigator. The second issue, Thieves has many genres in it, including cozy, hard boiled, and straight up crime.
For regular news, I suggest you sign up for the newsletter. As a rule, those will come out a few weeks after each issue, as a reminder to people that the issue is out, and to teaser/preview the next issue.
We are not currently accepting unsolicited manuscripts. Membership in the syndicate is closed, but if you would like to be considered for future membership, please leave Ursula a note with links to your website as well as any other relevant details, such as what awards you’ve been considered for or won, what your primary subgenre is, who your target reader audience is, and so on.
