Bouchercon Information

At Bouchercon, readers, authors, editors, reviewers, librarians, booksellers, agents, publishers, and media gather together in a relaxed, entertaining environment dedicated to enabling all to meet and mingle with front line professionals of the genre. It's the "big daddy" of mystery conventions, and whether or not you're a published author, if you're interested in expanding your reach in the mystery community, Bouchercon is the place to do it. In its family reunion-like atmosphere, everyone is approachable and fair game for striking up a conversation, or perhaps even sharing a meal. And, of course, there's Bouchercon's legendary bar scene. Even if you don't drink, the bar scene is an experience not to be missed, for that's where everyone comes together in late night revelry, sharing confessional moments among folks who just hours before were but perfect strangers, and forging lifelong personal and business relationships. Which brings me around to my own life-changing Bouchercon moment. Drum roll please.
