Welcome to Sisters in Crime
~ Heart of Texas Chapter
Heart of Texas is a chapter of Sisters in Crime, an international organization whose mission is to promote the ongoing advancement, recognition and professional development of women crime writers.
We are writers and readers, men and women, who share an interest in crime fiction. Current members live throughout Central Texas–from Waco on the north to New Braunfels on the south–but our territory has no borders: No matter where you live, you’re welcome here.
We meet monthly in Austin to hear speakers–authors, editors, book designers, publishers, attorneys, law enforcement officers, sociologists, forensic artists, scientists and technologists, and other professionals–present programs designed to improve writing skills and to broaden our knowledge of the worlds we read and write about. In addition, our own authors share their publications and works in progress.
Meetings are free and the public is invited.
Join us the second Sunday of each month, 2:15 p.m., on the third floor of BookPeople, 603 W. 6th Street (corner of W. 6th and N. Lamar). Click for map.
