About a month ago, here at WoM, we posted on comprehensive lists of writerly advice compiled in the Guardian online.
Yesterday, on The Mystery Place forum, Linda Landrigan, editor of the wonderful Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine, used that piece as a springboard for her own set of tips to avoid rejection.
AHMM is one of the pre-eminent markets for short crime-suspense fiction. Chris Holm, most-recent Cranmer interviewee, has a story in May's (dark) humor issue, on newsstands now! And unreformed thief and Criminal Briefer Rob Lopresti has a story upcoming in June's. This is good company, and I'd pluck my eyelashes to join it. Unfortunately, I think the key is writing well. Too bad, really, that's far more painful.

A great list. One for the keeper pile. Thanks, Clare. (And your writing is very good, as the readers of this blog know.)
