Word on the street is…
This is something new-ish I’m trying out here, but it really depends on you. If you’re a private eye writer, and you’ve got something in a private eye vein coming out in the next little while, please let me know via email, DM or just use the Comments Section on this page, and I’ll post it here. All I ask is that you keep it short, keep it pithy and keep it relevant (ie: P.I.-related). If you’re not sure, check out What the hell is a private eye, anyway?
Don’t worry–I’ve got plenty of thumb tacks.
Also, let me know what you think about this idea…

What about Ellery Queen Detective Agency?
I always thought Eleery was an amateur sleuth. Did he ever charge clients for his detective work? (Odd place to ask that question, though)
