For the mini-mysteries, I've found that the "clues" can be very simplistic. Don't exceed 700 words or it will be too long. I keep my "minis" at about 650 words if possible. I get rejected a lot, too, but once in a while I manage to sell one. If you ever have any questions about them, I would be happy to answer them. You can contact me easily through my web site! <br />LindaLinda Reillyhttp://www.lindasreilly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-1898190826059552062015-06-11T08:26:39.519-04:002015-06-11T08:26:39.519-04:00Linda, I'm 20 minutes from the Berkshires - ju...Linda, I'm 20 minutes from the Berkshires - just lovely.

If you have any questions about Woman's World, please be sure to let me know. The format of the mini-mysteries has changed quite a bit over the years from real stories to "brain teasers." Since it's a weekly mag, they need 52 mysteries a year, and that's great for writers!Linda Reillyhttp://www.lindasreilly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-60461710266501344492015-06-10T16:11:35.978-04:002015-06-10T16:11:35.978-04:00What a great interview, Linda.
