Each magazine is a PulpFiction {{Anthology}} of the MysteryFiction genre. Ellery Queen attempts to represent as much of the genre as possible with each issue, publishing CrimeFiction, Cozy Mystery, DetectiveDrama, PoliceProcedural, and even LitFic if the editors deem it similar enough. Their submission search is similarly broad, having a dedicated department to purchasing foreign stories for publication since 2003, and an active effort to find unpublished mystery authors since 1949.

"The best mystery magazine in the world, bar none" -- Creator/StephenKing.

First printed in 1941, the cover page has dropped the possessive since 1993, but the table of contents and website still retain the original name. The magazine was, of course, launched by Creator/ElleryQueen. Queen (in the form of Dannay) was succeeded by Creator/EleanorSullivan in 1982, and then by Creator/JanetHutchings in 1991.

Initially a quarterly publication, the magazine now follows a bimonthly cycle, with excerpts and additional columns appearing on [[http://www.elleryqueenmysterymagazine.com their website]]. While maintaining a physical format, they also sell a digital copy of their magazine, in multiple electronic formats.
