Sherlock's Spotlight Gazette


Sherlock's Spotlight Gazette, started in November 2020, is the Beacon Society's outreach to younger Sherlockians, providing them with both information and entertainment on Sherlock Holmes.

The Gazette was inspired by the wonderful "Holmes for the Holidays" newsletters issued by Michael McClure and the Chester Baskerville Society in the 1990s.

The Gazette will be issued quarterly (Fall -- November; Winter -- February; Spring -- May; Summer -- August).

                  Scroll down to access the current and previous issues of the Gazette.

Younger Sherlockians are encouraged to submit (using the form below) original artwork which we can use for the cover of the gazette.

All Sherlockians are encouraged to submit articles, mini-mysteries, artwork, and puzzles that we can include in future issues.
