Crime Writers Association (South West) in collaboration with Torquay Museum present ‘Crime at the Coast: A SW Crime Writers' Convention’.
Do you want to get into the minds of crime writers (and is that a safe pursuit)? Here is a fantastic opportunity to get face-to-face with 12 published SW Crime writers. With four fascinating panel sessions throughout the day where the authors will be put on the spot to explain elements of the ‘dark art’ of crime writing. There will be opportunities throughout the day to ask questions, meet the authors and have books signed.
Panelists include Elizabeth Ducie, S.M. Hardy, K.J. Maitland, Stephanie Austin, Sam Carrington, Helena Dixon, Jane Corry, Margaret Barnes, Michael Jecks and Richard Handy.
