Past Writing Conferences
Always held at the Boise Centre on the Grove in Idaho, Murder in the Grove is a fine example of a small writing conference. Past speakers include Anne Perry, Robert Crais, Carolyn Hart, and Ridley Pearson. See some of Kaye George’s snapshots from this conference on her Photos page.
As it says on the convention’s website, “If traditional mysteries are your cup of tea,” Malice Domestic is your kind of convention. Held every May in Arlington, Virginia, since 1989, Malice was created to honor the type of mystery called traditional. (Think Agatha Christie.) The Agatha Awards are presented at Malice. Also awarded is the St. Martin's Press/Malice Domestic Contest for the Best First Traditional Mystery Novel.
Left Coast Crime is another fan convention. Held at a different location every year, the venue is limited only to being in Western North America. (Well, LCC was once held in the United Kingdom, but who’s counting?) Kaye George attended the 2007 version in Seattle. The Lefty Award, given to the year’s most humorous mystery, is presented at LCC.
Another small but nice conference is the Agents and Editors Conference sponsored by the Writers' League of Texas.
