Killer Women is a group of 15
established, London-based female crime writers co-founded by Melanie McGrath
and Louise Millar representing many sub-genres of crime writing from
psychological thrillers to procedurals, comic crime, political thrillers and
more.
Individually
we are: Jane Casey, Tammy Cohen, Helen Giltrow, Paula Hawkins, Alison Joseph,
Erin Kelly, Anya Lipska, Colette McBeth, Melanie McGrath, Kate Medina, Louise
Millar, Kate Rhodes, Helen Smith, Louise Voss and Laura Wilson.
Killer Women began as a salon but
we have now grown in ambition and scope. We’re still small in number and plan
to stay that way for now. By pooling our talent, energy and creativity we plan
to use the group to help build on the brilliant work already being done by our
publicists and publishers and respond to the ways the relationship between
authors and readers is changing.
As
individuals we really value the expertise and energy of our respective editors,
publicists and publishers and as well as continuing to enthusiastically market
our books as individuals, we are looking forward to exploring the ways in
which, as a group, we can also broaden our reach to bookshops,
festivals, events organisers, libraries, bookgroups, media outlets and bloggers
What they offer
·
Bespoke, ticketed events for festivals,
libraries, bookshops and other venues, that deliver more than the usual
writer-in-a-room. We will add value and experiential richness to your events.
We can curate a Killer Women
recommends table or shelf in your bookshop or at your event to complement the
event itself. Examples:
- · Deadlier than the Male debate: what is the truth about women and violence?
- · Interviews between crime writers and top forensic psychiatrists, police officers and other criminal justice professionals
- · How to Solve a Real-Life Murder: taking a real life murder case and unpicking the investigation
- · Forensics quiz
Killer Women masterclasses and
workshops. Between us we have years of experience teaching in universities,
festivals and libraries as well as running Arvon and Guardian Masterclasses. We
can provide a stand alone course or a masterclass or workshop to run before an
event.
Killer Women salons and cocktail
parties where readers can socialize with crime writers and sample our unique Killer Women
Resource
for media and bloggers providing quotations, features, listicals and book
recommendations.
