Conference for mystery, thriller, and suspense fiction writers

SleuthFest provides writers at any point in their publishing journey with techniques to improve their craft, information on publishing, marketing, and the business of writing, along with insight from best-selling authors, industry professionals, and forensics experts.

We also give authors networking opportunities that are an invaluable component of any writer’s toolkit.

SleuthFest helps attendees achieve their publishing goals.
