That took a bit of compiling, Jody. Did you have a spare half-hour or something? I checked but my name's not in there. Thought they might have snuck one past me, but no.

@ Chris. Someone on this blog very recently commented that they thought they recognized the author's name as being pubbed before, and I thought...hmmm....I wonder how many stories that guy actually had this year? And then this list happened. What can I say... I'm a Virgo.

I think I'm the one that recognized Marianne's name - I remember noticing also that her style is quite definite, pleasant and easy to read. And it was the same in both the stories that I noticed had her name as author. she's not what I think of as a choppy writer - she makes easy transitions between scenes and people. Quite an accomplishment in 700 words, I think. I also think (suspect) she gets less editing than some other writers claim they get. This list represents quite a bit of time on your part to compile. Thanks for doing it, Jody. I haven't been able to find the most recent WW in Boston stores yet and wonder if they're all sold out or (more likely I think) just delayed in getting into our area. Logan's been closed so much lately; I assume they're flown in. Anyone know?

woops - I did recognize marianne's style and name, but it was actually a male I commented on, and HIS style was all over the place - really professional in one piece and a mess in the other. I remember wonderying why and guessed he was in a rush with the second story. I do notice recurring phrases and stylistic "tics" a lot probably because I used to write for newspapers.

Mary Jo said...

An interesting list, Jody. So it would seem that some writers can produce a steady stream of little mysteries. I wonder if any of the local newspapers who are hurting for subscribers would be interested in publishing a weekly solve it yourself mystery. Has anyone inquired about the possibility? Julia just made me think of that.

Julia said...

Mary Jo - What a good idea! I think I read somewhere that Donald Sobol, who wrote a series for kids about a boy named "Encyclopedia Brown" started his career in daily journalism in NYC, with something called "One Minute Mysteries." Anyone else remember that?

Jody E. Lebel said...

@Julia... please guide us as a newspaper writer... to whom do we we approach at the paper to pitch a minute mystery column?

Julia said...

Jody - I'm retired now. Based on the way things used to be, I'd approach the feature or lifestyle editor. Newspapers are ravening beasts, hungry for copy. You can't have "writer's block" and write for them. They need you to grind the stuff out. So work up and present a portfolio. Don't approach a paper without samples of your best work.

Ravening beasts... sorta gets me hot. haha

Thanks for the info.

By the way, in talking about male vs female authors in 2014 there were 21 stories written by men and 31 written by women, assuming Janie, S. Furlong, Marti, and Jean are women.
