Writing Characters Beyond Your Own Experience


William Deverell, known for his Canadian legal thrillers, is the winner of the Dashiell Hammett Award for Literary Excellence in North American Crime Writing. His latest novel, The Long-Shot Trial received rave reviews from the New York Times ("paces his story beautifully") and our own Margaret Cannon ("This is the latest in the wonderful Arthur Beauchamp series and it’s superb."). Deverell will speak about writing characters different from yourself (for example, a male author writing female charaters).

When you join us/renew for the low, low price of $25, it will give you access to our meetings for all of 2025 (both Zoom and in-person) and discounts to our various in-person events. We will add you to the Members Only mailing with the Zoom codes.
