CrimeFest 2013 Program Announcement

The program for CrimeFest 2013 has been published and it looks like an exciting one!

CrimeFest 2013 will take place from May 30th through June 2nd, 2013 in Bristol and features a line-up of leading crime writers, including Jeffery Deaver, who will be hosting a Thriller Writing Seminar, with one-on-one manuscript feedback by crime novelist Janet Laurence. Also this year, the creators of the BBC series Sherlock — which began filming its third season this week — will be attending; co-creators Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat as well as producer Sue Vertue are scheduled to be interviewed.

Other highlights include panels with recent CWA Dagger Award winners and nominees: Charles Cumming (Steel Dagger for Thriller), M.R. Hall (Gold Dagger nominee), Aly Monroe (Historical Crime Dagger), Steve Mosby (Dagger in the Library) and Valerio Varesi (International Dagger nominee).

At a CWA Shortlist Reception on Friday night, the nominees for the annual CWA Dagger Awards will be announced. And on Saturday night, the winners of the annual CrimeFest Awards will be announced at a Gala Dinner.
