I am looking to host a mystery writer from Connecticut or MA at our
library during the month of May 2003 for a book discussion and author book
signing.
Does anyone have the names & contact information of any Connecticut area
mystery
writers interested in appearing at public libraries. We do allow the
author to sell books at the event for signing.
Thank you,
Mary

On Sunday we had a program by Sisters in Crime--actually
2 sisters and a brother who formed a panel to discuss writing
mysteries. The cost was reasonable and the panel lively.
To arrange a presentation contact the New England Chapter of Sisters
in Crime.

Contact: Susan Trudeau
4 Braeburn Road
Chelmsford, MA 01824
978-256-2933
Email: [removed]@attbi.com

For those not in New England, go to www.sistersincrime.org to find
the contact for your area.

The Mystery Writers of America are also interested in presenting
author programs in libraries. Al Blanchard, who was the "brother"
at our Sunday program is the Chapter President for New England.

The Mystery Writers are preparing a database of speakers. The
following is from their newsletter.
"We Heard You! Speakers Database Available Soon
Libraries have asked for a list of speakers available
for special events. We heard you! We're in the process
of developing a speakers database. Participants in this
project will be the first to be notified of its
availability. We expect to have the first version
of this database ready within the next 90 days."
For more info about the newsletter email [removed]@mysterywriters.org
Their web page is www.mysterywriters.org
Scroll down to find information about local chapters.

Mary,

The Mystery Writers of America should be helpful - in MA the (New
England)chapter president is Al Blanchard, [removed]@aol.com. CT is
part of the NY chapter, and the contact there is Barry Zeman,
[removed]@parkerinstitute.org. Also, Random House offers info on booking their
authors on their website at
http://www.randomhouse.com/library/authortips.html.

Hope this helps.

Hi Mary,
The Mystery Writers of America are trying to link authors and
libraries. They are hosting a list of libraries that are interested in
visits by authors. You can find out more about it at their web site -
www.mysterywriters.org or by e-mailing them at
[removed]@mysterywriters.org. I signed up a few months ago and receive an
e-mail newsletter. I was also recently contacted by Roberta Isleib, a
Conn. author, who is arranging a 3 member panel at our library in
June. Her address is [removed]@robertaisleib.com. Hope this helps.
