Upstate SC Chapter of Sisters in Crime

Our terrific regional chapter is a member of Sisters in Crime, an international organization formed more than two decades ago to encourage and support women mystery
authors. Worldwide, SinC has more than 3,000 members. Our  chapter includes both aspiring and published authors and people who simply love to read. We have both men and women members. Click here to visit our blog.

Our headliners include authors and experts in law enforcement, forensics and other allied fields. Past speakers have run the gamut from FBI agents, medical examiners and prosecutors to defense attorneys, weapons specialists, and identity theft experts. If you have a suggestion for a speaker, please contact me. We meet at 6:15 p.m. the first Thursday of each month at The Runway Cafe in Greenville, South Carolina for dinner and lively conversation before our guest speaker takes the podium at 7 p.m. I’m a past President and the current VP.
