"SleuthFest is an annual 3-day conference for writers and fans of mysteries, thrillers, & crime fiction organized by the Florida chapter of Mystery Writers of America 501(c)3. For over 25 years, we’ve focused on the learning needs of authors at all levels. SleuthFest delivers writing workshops, presentations, and panels, along with a top-notch forensic track. Agents and editors active in the genre offer strategy sessions, take pitches and can provide critiques. Our keynote speakers and multi-published guest instructors share inspirational and practical knowledge to better the craft of our attendees."
