Meetings
Our monthly meetings start with a short business
meeting for all members, followed by a program focusing on an area of interest in the mystery field. We’ve hosted multi-published,
award-winning mystery and suspense authors, weapons experts, and police detectives. In addition we have a monthy reader's
group AND a monthly writer's critique group that come together before the business meeting.
Newsletter
Our monthly newsletter, Clued In, focuses
on the mystery field and features news, upcoming conference information, articles on writing, market updates, and more.
Field Trips
We also run field trips and have visited the Monmouth
County Correctional Center and the State Police Museum. We have also taken trips to the past--the Lindbergh Trial Re-enactment
in Flemington and the Hall-Mills Trial Re-enactment in Somerville.
Mission
"The purpose of Sisters in Crime is 'to combat discrimination
against women in the mystery field, educate publishers and the general public as to the inequities in the treatment of female
authors, raise the level of awareness of their contribution to the field, and promote the professional advancement of women
who write mysteries.'"
