Everybody!
I’ll be at the main branch of the NYPL (455 Fifth Avenue [at 40th Street] Phone: 917-ASK-NYPL (917-275-6975) tonight for a panel discussion at 6:30pm. The details:
“Legal, Medical, and Psychological Thrillers: How Professionals Use Their Inside Knowledge When They Write,” with moderator, Lawrence Light and panelists, Charles Atkins, MD, Roberta Isleib, Sarah Langan, Justin Peacock and Elizabeth Zelvin of Mystery Writers of America / New York Chapter.
Write what you know. Harnessing that age-old dictum, many working professionals directed their “day-job” know-how into crime fiction. Learn how our panelists, seasoned pros from various disciplines, used this knowledge to enrich their plots and hook readers. What are the promises – and perils – of knowing your subject cold and trying to translate it into edge-of-your-seat mysteries?
Be there or be a stinker.
