Talk:Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine

Deleted Rex Stout's name from list of established writers that EQMM "publishes," since Stout (of whom I'm a big fan) died in 1975.

EQMM vs. AHMM
Since Ellery Queen and Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazines are published by the same company, how would someone who only wishes to purchase one magazine decided which one to buy? Could the EQMM and AHMM articles perhaps include more information about content and the style of stories included in the magazines so people can know more about how the two magazines compare/contrast? 206.148.112.105 16:03, 5 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I've added a quote from Julian Symons which seems to sum up the extensive reach and overall excellence of EQMM. Unfortunately he made no comment on AHMM. Accounting4Taste 04:16, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

It's highly subjective and a lot depends on individual editors, but here's a few distinguishing (re)marks:  Ellery Queen   'hard' detection and mysteries whodunits international outlook   Alfred Hitchcock   suspense has a penchant for American Indian stories <li>accepts longer-format stories </ul> </dd> </dl>

-- I can't understand anything I just read about editing on Wikipedia.2001:558:6035:3E:25F6:81E0:D10C:71E (talk) 04:12, 9 September 2015 (UTC) I just know there is a minor error in this:

"Foremost among series authors was the late Edward D. Hoch, who created at least a dozen independent series for EQMM since his first story appeared in 1962. From May 1973 to May 2007, he has had at least one original story in every issue of EQMM, a string that reached an unparalleled 34 years; in that same period he also had about 50 stories in EQMM's sister publication, Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine."

It should read "From May 1973 to May 2007, he had" not "has had". I think I would also say "after his first story" rather than "since his first story" but I don't think I could explain why. Do you know when his last story was published in EQMM? I'd actually like the sentence to end "between his first story in 1962 and his last in 20xx".
