Killer Women Week - Day 5: Crime Writing Festival

It's Day 5 of my Killer Women Crime Writing Festival Feature Week

And today, it's ALL about the Killer Women Crime Writing Festival. 

Crime fiction fans are being spoilt this autumn with London's first-ever crime festival, thanks to the Killer Women Collective. 

When and where?

The FIRST EVER Killer Women Crime Writing Festival takes place on Saturday 15th October 2016 (9 am to 8.30 pm) at Shoreditch Town Hall, 380 Old Street, London EC1V 9LT.
