Is it a straight mystery, with no supernatural or cosmic elements? Just make sure that this is a story that would belong in Weird Tales magazine back in the 1920s, or being told in a gentlemen's lounge in turn-of-the-century London. The best advice for new writers is to follow proper manuscript format, be polite in your queries, and show us that you have taken an interest in this particular genre."
