Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine
From 1993, EQMM changed its cover title to be Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine (without the "'s"), but the table of contents still retains the full name.EQMM was created to provide a market for mystery fiction above the common run of pulp crime magazines of the day.Dannay served as the magazine's editor-in-chief (although still under the name Ellery Queen) from its creation until his death in 1982, when managing editor Eleanor Sullivan succeeded to the post."[6][4] 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,[5][13] while he believed his efforts also served to cater to the widest possible range of tastes and attract a larger audience.[11] 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,[11] which aimed to publish works from new writers and fostering new talent.[6] 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.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.[28] 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.[33] 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.[35][36] 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.[13] 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.Dannay introduced many international writers, including the Argentine Jorge Luis Borges, 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.[5][14][6] EQMM regularly publishes short fiction from established mystery novelists such as Edward D. Hoch, Jeffery Deaver, Michael Gilbert, Peter Lovesey, John Lutz, Ruth Rendell, and Janwillem van de Wetering.A. Milne, Stephen King, W. Somerset Maugham, P. G. Wodehouse, Joyce Carol Oates, Theodore Sturgeon, and Phyllis Diller.The magazine had an official Spanish version, Selecciones policiacas y de misterio, edited by the Mexican Antonio Helú.
