Casting Call with Maine Crime Writers
This panel explores the way different writers choose the attributes of their principal characters, the victim, the sleuth, and the villain, along with those additional characters such as sidekicks, alternative suspects, witnesses, and others, who are needed to fill out the cast. The panelists are John Clark, Kate Flora, Vaughn Hardacker, and Maureen Milliken of Maine Crime Writers. For more info about them visit their blog at mainecrimewriters.com
Love chatting with our local crime writers? Matt Cost, Kate Flora, and Maureen Milliken will be at the Brunswick Second Friday Art Walk and the Bath Third Friday art bops this summer. Stop by and say hello.
An invitation to readers of this blog: Do you have news relating to Maine, Crime, or Writing? We’d love to hear from you. Just comment below to share.
And a reminder: If your library, school, or organization is looking for a speaker, we are often available to talk about the writing process, research, where we get our ideas, and other mysteries of the business, along with the very popular “Making a Mystery” with audience participation, and “Casting Call: How We Staff Our Mysteries.” We also do programs on Zoom.
