THE PULP AND MYSTERY SHELF welcomes submissions from authors and booksellers of classic and contemporary mystery works of all classifications wanting to be featured on Mondays and Wednesdays, and all Thursdays except the first Thursday of the month. Fridays feature Science Fiction and Fantasy.
Fro authors, if your work is submitted, but not considered a fit for this site, you may still be invited to appear on the weekly feature INFINITE HOUSE OF BOOKS, at Shannon Muir’s author site, which is an all-fiction/all-ages feature. INFINITE HOUSE OF BOOKS has not traditionally featured bookstores since its inception in 2012, but the administrator would be open to changing that policy.
Please see which section applies to you below and send all items to shannon.muir (at) outlook.com. NOTE REGARDING GIVEAWAYS: IF YOU WISH TO INCLUDE A GIVEAWAY, COMMENT-BASED GIVEAWAYS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED AS THE ADMINISTRATOR WORKS FULL-TIME AND THEREFORE MUST MODERATE COMMENTS TO MANAGE SPAM; MOST GIVEAWAYS ARE THROUGH SERVICES LIKE RAFFLECOPTER. THANKS FOR UNDERSTANDING.
