You're not selling ideas, you're selling stories. So no matter how good of an idea "hard-boiled detective" meets "vegan zombie lesbians from Mars" may be, if you don't flesh out a great story, we'll pass. Elements of horror are fine, but we like "odd" a lot more than we like "shocking.

More than anything, however, your story should focus on noir. Since the term Chicago Overcoat is taken straight from The Big Sleep , the stories of this anthology will be as new and adventurous as its inspiration material was back in the day. In fact, we'll probably only take one or two of these, and we'll take them early. Just make sure the feel is right. That's the most important thing. It really helps your chances if you know both genres that you're writing in. We can tell if you're just dabbling.

It's good to branch out, but you've gotta put in the time before it pays off.

He was directed to a small nondescript building and a man who had just what he wanted. The man who had wished to remain anonymous showed Mitch a room full of various handguns, rifles and automatic weapons.
