Extension Deadline: August 30

Mystery Readers Journal: (42:3) Cross-Genre Mysteries

Call for Articles:  Mystery Readers Journal (42:3): Cross-Genre Mysteries (Fall 2026)

For our next issue, we are looking for articles, reviews, and author essays focusing on cross-genre crime fiction.

DEADLINE EXTENSION: August 30, 2026

Cross-Genre Mysteries:  Cross-genre fiction blends the themes, tropes, and conventions of two or more distinct literary genres. It doesn’t fit neatly into one category. A Cross-Genre Mystery is a story that retains a central investigation or puzzle at its heart, but layers in other distinct genre such as science fiction, fantasy, true crime, and Westerns. For this next issue, we are not including historical mysteries, as we have had five Historical Mystery issues of Mystery Readers Journal on that theme.

Deadline Extended: August 30, 2026.

Be sure and cite specific titles, as well as how you use both genres in your books. Add title and 2-3 sentence bio.
