Dorothy Koomson's Thrill-Fest, Celebrating Crime-Writing Women

Celebrating the very best in crime-writing women.

Join us for Dorothy Koomson’s ThrillFest, a brand new one-evening festival celebrating the very best in crime-writing by women! With panels, an interview and book signings featuring some of your favourite writers, this is an evening you don’t want to miss!

Women write and excel in all areas of crime-writing – from true crime to cosy mysteries, from police procedurals to emotional thrillers – but they’re very often ignored or not given the kudos of their equally fantastic male counterparts.

With ThrillFest, we’re putting the spotlight firmly on women and the essential contributions that all types of women make to the crime-thriller genre. This is also a celebration of crime readers and their continual – and very much appreciated – support for authors.

Expect fun, laughter, prize draws and some twisty talk as well as a complimentary drink.

The award-winning, bestselling crime-writing women making up the panels on the night include: Nadine Matheson, Lisa Jewell, Louise Hare, Harriet Tyce and Kia Abdullah, with another guest yet to be announced.

An interview with Dorothy Koomson talking about her new book, as well as why there is a need for ThrillFest will conclude the evening before you can get your books signed and chat to the featured authors.
