Resources for Crime Writers

This is a very short post today.  I just came across this resource for crime writers and wanted to make sure you’ve seen it.

You may have seen some of these links before, but many I’ve never seen, so they may also be new to you.

If you’re into crime writing, you may also be interested in an egroup that discusses the genre.  I’ve been a member of this group for around ten years now, and there’s a wealth of knowledge available through the members.  In addition to published and unpublished writers, we also have FBI agents, police officers, crime scene investigators, private investigators, and more. Everyone is happy to help other members, and will also answer individual questions.

Don’t think because you don’t write hard-boiled crime, you can’t join this group.  There are several members (like me) who write romantic suspense, and find the group extremely helpful.

The group covers noir, hard-boiled, cosies, police procedurals, and more.
