It's always interesting when a new editor take over.

In February Panzer told you about the sale of Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine (EQMM). Today, he found a follow-up interview with the new Editor In Chief.

Panzer says, "If you're a mystery writer, you'll want to read the interview."

Free on YouTube: Writing Short Fiction That Sells with Linda Landrigan - Jane Cleland

A lot of good information here.

Panzer found an interview with Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine editor-in-chief Linda Landrigan on Jane K. Cleland's YouTube channel.

 

Jane Cleland and Linda Landrigan discuss what sells and what doesn't sell short fiction. Since Linda Landrigan is the editor-in-chief at Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, she knows first hand what makes a good short story and what ruins it.

 

The interview is 1 hour 14 minutes long and is free to listen to.
