Hey, it's no mystery. The genre - whether hard-boiled, noir, cozy, locked room, police procedural, suspense, romance, historical, or caper - is more popular than ever. Popular with readers AND writers.
So let's have a conference that explores the mystery of mystery fiction. The long and the short. The where, why, who, and how. The blood spilled, the tea sipped, the bourbon slugged down. Let's have a conference that brings Michigan mystery writers together to meet, learn, share.
We've invited four of Michigan's most successful and popular mystery writers to tell you what they know about researching, writing, re-writing, and selling mysteries.
We're also giving participants the opportunity to meet one-on-one with one of our faculty members to discuss your work-in-progress. There are a limited number of these 30-minute private consultations available, so if you're interested, don't delay signing up.
If you want a private consultation, you'll be asked to send the first 20 pages (or first chapter) of your novel, along with a one-page synopsis, at least one week prior to the conference.
A private consultation will cost $60 in addition to the conference fee.
