There are a variety of places writers can place their short fiction. These include traditional print publications, e-zines, anthologies and other outlets.

The problem is finding a good list of them. Often, the various lists I run across have some broken links or outdated information. I'll do my best to keep this list as updated as possible and make it a good clearing house for active short mystery markets, be they print, online, anthology or what not.

While I like to the homepage, pretty much all of them have their writer's guidelines or submission criteria on their web sites.
