We always make time to submit entries to those notable annual short story awards. The process has started to shift from nominations sent by mail to the more satisfying email it in kind. Some still require a trip to the bank, though, and then the post office. This week, we made the following selections for The Best American Mystery and Suspense, part of The Best American Series, published annually by Mariner Books (an imprint of HarperCollins).
The Best American Mystery and Suspense 2024 Nominations:
— Brownie Bribery, BRUCE HARRIS.
— Sharp Knives, MARK JACOBS.
— Refugee Highway, KEN WETHERINGTON.
These nominations were also sent to The Best Mystery Stories of the Year, an annual collection of the year’s best mystery and suspense short fiction published by Mysterious Press.
