So, I've accidentally written an essay on crime writing in academia (it's a personal essay with jokes, a bit over 3,000 words), and now I'm looking for a place to publish it. Any thoughts? My preference would be a print journal, but I'd be willing to look at established on-line venues, too.

Why don't you try Alfred Hitchcock or Ellery Queen Mystery mags? They run essays. Hell, they might even pay you (gasp!)
I'll check them out--thanks, B.R.
Shows what I know about AHMM. I didn't know they ran essays.
You can use your Crimespace blog to post essays. Alternatively, you could create a topic here in the forum called "Essays" and make it clear that the thread should only be used to post essays (meaning no discussion). Daniel could probably also create a separate section on here for essays.
That would be a last resort. I tend to think of blog posts as brief and relatively spontaneous--or at least that's what they are when I write them.
I agree. But I was referring to Dan's suggestion for a place to post essays. I wasn't suggesting you post yours here.

If you have a copy of Writer's Market, or access to a copy, then that might be the best place to look; certainly you'll find the most venue listings there. Wading through them all might not be pleasant, though.
Have you thought of the Mystery Readers Journal: http://www.mysteryreaders.org/journal.html.

Janet Rudolph runs tight ship.
