History


Mystery League and pre-EQMM era (1933–1934)

Around four years after Ellery Queen's successful debut, '' The Roman Hat Mystery'', Dannay and Lee decided to produce a magazine that would publish only quality mystery fiction. Their first attempt, ''Mystery League'', a monthly magazine for mystery fiction, debuted in October 1933, with Dannay and Lee as its only employees. In a time when most of the mystery magazines at the time were digests that would cut long novels into pieces before publishing them, ''Mystery League'' published only complete short novels, which helped to maintain the quality of the stories it published while leading to a higher selling price of 25¢. When America was still recovering from the
Great Depression The Great Depression was a severe global economic downturn from 1929 to 1939. The period was characterized by high rates of unemployment and poverty, drastic reductions in industrial production and international trade, and widespread bank and ...
, this was too high a price for most people to purchase a magazine. The magazine ceased publication after only four issues, but ''Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine'' took over the basic principle of publishing complete short mystery novels of high quality.


Creation (1941)

In the fall of 1941, the first issue of ''Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine'', under the ownership of Lawrence E. Spivak of The Mercury Press, went to press. Dannay assumed primary editorial responsibility for the magazine. The magazine debuted as quarterly, and thanks to its popularity, it went bimonthly in the following year and then monthly in 1946. Just like "Mystery League", the first issue of ''EQMM'' contained seven complete mystery stories from

himself. Dannay admitted in his message to readers that "This first issue is frankly experimental." In sharp contrast to ''Mystery League''s failure, the first issue of ''EQMM'' sold more than 90,000 copies, far beyond anyone's expectations. ''EQMM'' has become the leading American magazine of the genre and is credited with setting the standard for modern crime and mystery short stories and keeping short stories of the genre alive and flourishing.


Frederic Dannay's editorship (1941–1982)

Frederic Dannay served as editor-in-chief for EQMM for more than 40 years. As an editor, he aimed to establish a more respectful reputation for mysteries and keep the genre strong. Dannay explained his manifesto for ''Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine'' as being to "raise the sights of mystery writers generally to a genuine literary form," to "encourage good writing among our colleagues by offering a practical market not otherwise available," and to "develop new writers seeking expression in the genre." To achieve his goal, Dannay worked hard to explore and represent every aspect of mysteries, expanding the variety of materials of ''EQMM'' to a great extent, while he believed his efforts also served to cater to the widest possible range of tastes and attract a larger audience. One of his major efforts was to find and publish stories written by big names with elements of crime or mystery, and as a result, more than forty Nobel and

Press of Mississippi. Some contend that the story Faulkner submitted, "An Error in Chemistry," is not among his best. Dannay continued to publish works from Faulkner in ''EQMM'', increasing Faulkner's popularity among the general public. After the first few years of Dannay reprinted stories he had gathered for his own personal collection of mysteries while slowly adding previously unpublished stories by both famous and unknown authors. ''EQMM'' began accepting novels from the general public in 1948. As another effort to expand the variety of materials of the magazines, during Dannay's editorship, the Department of First Stories was established in 1949, which aimed to publish works from new writers and fostering new talent. Dannay himself published more than 500 first stories by first-time writers, and many of them, including Stanley Ellin and

, grew to become famous writers. In 1953, ''EQMM'' bought '' Black Mask Magazine'', and turned it into a special department which "features harder-edged works of crime, noir, and private-eye writers." ''Black Mask'' ceased to exist in ''EQMM'' in the 1970s, but was reinstated in 2008 and continues to run today. Crime novelist and stage magician Clayton Rawson was the magazine's managing editor between 1963 and his death in 1971. Several spin-offs of the magazine came into being and died during this period.

and the return of US troops. They were almost identical to the normal US edition of ''EQMM'', with the only difference of the title "Special Edition for the Armed Forces Overseas" or "Overseas Edition for the Armed Services" printed on the cover. Since advertisements were not allowed in this kind of publication for the US Army, the opening three pages of this edition, where the ads would typically be, were replaced with an additional story. Otherwise, an additional puzzle would be added at the end as a make-up. An Australian reprint edition started from July 1947 and ceased publication in November 1964, and a UK reprint edition was available between February 1953 and September 1964. Spin-offs that translated the magazine into other languages like Japanese, French, Italian, German were all once available, but all ceased publication eventually.


Eleanor Sullivan's editorship (1982–1991)

After Frederic Dannay died in 1982, Eleanor Sullivan took his place as editor of ''EQMM''. She was the managing editor from 1970 to 1982, hand-picked by Dannay after an interview. She had written many articles under a pen name for newspapers, magazines and books. During Sullivan's editorship, in 1985, the EQMM Readers Award began. This is an annual award for the favorite stories of the magazine's readers. It has since become one of the most important awards of its genre. The first EQMM Readers Award went to Clark Howard. Sullivan also served as editor-in-chief of '' Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine'' from 1975 to 1981, which helped to establish a closer relationship between the two magazines. After Sullivan became editor of ''EQMM'' and Cathleen Jordan became the editor of ''AHMM'' in 1982, they worked together to keep both magazines prosperous, and often passed stories to each other to find a more suitable place for them.


Janet Hutchings' editorship (1991–2025)

Janet Hutchings began her career as editor and publisher at the Doubleday Book Clubs, where she was given opportunities to read for the Mystery Guild, to which almost every mystery or crime novel waiting to be published in America would be submitted for possible inclusion. This experience greatly enhanced her passion for mysteries, and later she became Mystery Editor for Walker & Company and published a series of anthologies of stories from ''Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine''. The connection allowed her to meet Sullivan at the ''EQMM'' 50th anniversary party in 1991, and she was later interviewed as a possible successor to the magazine's editor. After Sullivan died in 1991, Hutchings succeeded as editor of ''EQMM'' and has held the position since then. Hutchings inherited Dannay's principle of the magazines, making quality the only standard while trying to maintain a great variety of the genre mysteries and a global focus. She said in an interview that her aim had always been to try to "make EQMM's umbrella as wide as that of the genre", and to publish stories from the broadest possible range of mysteries. In 2003, Hutchings established the Passport to Crime department, which would translate works from other languages on a regular basis. She explained this as the magazine scouting more actively for stories in other languages instead of just waiting for submissions from foreign writers. During Hutchings' editorship, ''EQMM'' embraced the trend of digitalization. In the early 1990s, it converted to

, and in 2011 Hutchings admitted that she now read submissions entirely on a Kindle. In 2009, ''EQMM''s

series began, which offered audiences audio renditions of stories from the magazine's archives. In the same year, ''EQMM''s first major digital editions became available in addition to the traditional print format. Something Is Going to Happen, the ''EQMM'' editor's blog, was launched in 2012, which formed a community where readers can discuss mystery and crime fiction, and where ''EQMM'' editors, writers and readers can communicate more directly. The official website of ''EQMM'' offered information about the magazines to both subscribers and writers. In January 2018, ''EQMM'' launched its first web-only column, "Stranger Than Fiction", on its official website. Written by Dean Jobb and scheduled to be updated monthly for free, the new column studies and presents true crime cases, a topic that ''EQMM'' used to lack. Janet Hutchings' retired as editor of ''EQMM'' with the publication of the January/February 2025 issue, which was the 1000th issue of the publication.


Jackie Sherbow's editorship (2025 onward)

Jackie Sherbow, previously the senior managing editor, inherited the editorship on Hutchings's retirement. Soon afterwards, ownership of the magazine passed to Must Read Magazines, a division of Must Read Books Publishing, an imprint of 1 Paragraph.


Characteristics

''Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine'' has several distinguishing hallmarks, most of which were established during the days of Frederic Dannay's editorship and have been maintained and strengthened since then. It is believed that these characteristics have helped ''EQMM'' to survive and flourish for more than 80 years while retaining its reputation as the leading periodical in the genre.


Quality

From the creation of ''EQMM'', Dannay was determined to make the magazine "a quality publication devoted exclusively to the printing of the best detective-crime short-story literature," making quality the sole criterion for inclusion in the magazine, and this principle was inherited by succeeded editors. The quality of the magazine has been proved by numerous awards won by stories first published on ''EQMM'', and won by the magazine itself. ''EQMM'' has been nominated more than 370 times and has won over 110 awards, including awards from those most eminent mystery organisations in the world, including

Variety

''EQMM'' has always striven to explore the broadest possible range of mystery, trying to present every aspect of the genre, which results in a great variety of stories, including hard-boiled stories, classic English mysteries, noirs, suspense,
cozy mysteries Cozy mysteries (also referred to as cozies) are a sub-genre of crime fiction in which sex and violence occur offstage, the detective is an amateur sleuth, and the crime and detection take place in a small socially-intimate community. Cozies thus s ...
and the work of literary writers. With publishing the best as its principle, ''EQMM'' has also helped to break down the barrier between supposedly "high" and "low" literary forms while blurring the boundaries of genres. The variety of the magazine is also reflected in its variety of contributing writers. As Dannay explained, the magazine proposed "to give stories by big-name writers, by lesser-known writers, and by unknown writers. But no matter what their source, they will be superior stories." While the magazine published works by great literary figures, it also started the Department of First Stories in 1949. The magazine has long enjoyed contributions from international writers.


Longevity

''EQMM'' was one of a relative handful of fiction magazines to survive the decline in American short-fiction publications from the 1950s to the 1970s. It is now the longest-running mystery fiction magazine in existence. Throughout its history it has actively encouraged new writers, and today, when most major publications only accept submissions through literary agents, ''EQMM'' still accepts unsolicited submissions through the mail. Writers may also use the online submission manager. The magazine's Department of First Stories has introduced hundreds of new writers, many of whom have become regular contributors.


Global orientation

''EQMM'' had a global orientation from the beginning. Dannay introduced many international writers, including the Argentine
Jorge Luis Borges Jorge Francisco Isidoro Luis Borges Acevedo ( ; ; 24 August 1899 – 14 June 1986) was an Argentine short-story writer, essayist, poet and translator regarded as a key figure in Spanish literature, Spanish-language and international literatur ...
, to the English literary community. Dannay also ran a number of Worldwide Short Story Contests in the early decades of the magazine, bringing in submissions from all around the world. He published an "All Nations" special issue of ''EQMM'' in August 1948, which included stories from every continent but Antarctica. In 2003, current editor Janet Hutchings launched the Passport to Crime department for translations from foreign authors.
