Northeast Florida Sisters in Crime
Welcome to the Northeast Florida chapter of the Sisters in Crime organization. If you’re a mystery, crime, or thriller writer or reader, the following should be of interest to you.
Some of our programs consist of speakers in forensic science, psychology, and law enforcement fields to continue feeding interest in crime for both writers and readers of mysteries. We invite fellow authors to speak about their journey to becoming published, as well as their writing process, including tips and tricks they’ve successfully used.
Although our name is NE Florida Sisters in Crime, we welcome men and women with an interest in mystery writing and reading and those with an interest in promoting the professional development and advancement of women crime writers to achieve equality in the industry.

A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT:
Hi!
Welcome to Northeast Florida’s Sisters in Crime. I’m Janet Kuchler, your Sisters in Crime Chapter President for 2023. Let me give you a little preview of what your executive committee has planned for the coming year.
Our goal, for each month, is to provide “teaching/learning lessons” for our members. Most of us want to write, but many of us don’t have any idea how to start. Or they get the first sentence “It was a dark and stormy night…” (Snoopy’s favorite beginning) and then stop. We hope by having authors talk/share their ideas with our chapter, you will find the next words, and then the next words… You know what I mean?
Having published authors share their diverse methods of writing will allow each of you to find a path forward that will work for you.
We welcome all ideas and suggestions. Perhaps, we will “write our own book” on writing, which will allow us to share with incoming members.
See you at our next meeting!
