I have not published a story in either AHMM or EQMM for more
than twenty years but I have remained a subscriber and reader
of those fine publications.
To all on this list, if you want to support opportunities for
writers, new and old, and especially if you care about short
crime fiction, you might consider subscribing to both. If we
don't support the platforms open to writers new and old, we
can't complain when they disappear.
