The Strand

Seeks well-written mysteries, detective stories, tales of terror and the supernatural, and other short stories set in any time or place; stories with twists are favored. Preferred length is 2,000–6,000 words, with occasional 1,000-word short shorts and possible short novellas. No explicit sexual content or repeated foul language. Submissions should include a brief introduction and writing credits; email submissions are accepted, and the magazine purchases first North American serial rights.
