On Monday, November 7 at 7 pm, via Zoom, Janet Hutchings, editor of Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine since 1991, will talk about the magazine and how she selects crime fiction short stories that are consistently nominated each year for (and often win) the Edgar, Agatha, Anthony, Derringer, Macavity, and Thriller Awards. Stacy Woodson will host.
Janet launched EQMM’s Passport to Crime department, where stories from Europe, Asia, South America, and Africa are translated on a regular basis, while at EQMM’s Something is Going to Happen blog, she hosts a mystery guest author, critic, or scholar of the mystery genre. She also introduces monthly readings and dramatizations of stories for EQMM’s Fiction Podcast.
Janet is a co-winner of the Mystery Writers of America’s Ellery Queen Award and the Malice Domestic Conventions Poirot Award. In 2003, she was honored by the Bouchercon World Mystery Convention for contributions to the field. Under her editorship, EQMM was named Best Magazine/ Review Publication by Bouchercon 27 and was celebrated by Bouchercon 48 for Distinguished Contribution to the Genre.
