MYSTERYFEST 2009 Due to a very low number of registrants, the Midwest MysteryFest for 2009 has been canceled. This includes the Friday evening dinner at Miss Aimee B's restaurant and the Friday afternoon workshop. This is disappointing to all who worked on the conference as well as to those who looked forward to attending the event. We hope to bring the conference back in 2010 or 2011. In the spring of 2010 we hope to have Esther Luttrell, Hollywood screenwriter, TV producer, and mystery novelist, give her 4-hour workshop on screenwriting techniques suitable for novel writing. Please consult this website periodically for news of future Chapter events. Again, I regret bitterly that the conference is canceled but we hope to reinstate it in the near future. Jo Hiestand, Chapter President Enjoy an intense and satisfying conference filled with practical advice on mystery writing for all levels. Pitch your novel in a one-on-one session with an agent (sign up during Registration Saturday morning for a specific time slot), chat with a mystery author while eating lunch, and learn forensics details that will make your work speak Authenticity. Three tracks of presentations, three outstanding featured speakers and a 4-hour workshop 1-5 p.m. Friday afternoon given by Hollywood screenwriter Esther Luttrell (Screen Writing Techniques That Enliven Your Novel) will make this day memorable. Attend the author/speaker dinner Friday evening (6 pm cocktails, 7 pm dinner ? an optional, additional charge not included in the event fee) at Miss Aimee B's tearoom where you can get acquainted with the featured presenters.
