F51Th True Crime and the Making of a Book (Hybrid/In-Person)
In-Person | Registration opens 8/25/2026 10:00 AM EDT
Presented by Susan Ashline, Nationally Acclaimed Author of True Crime Books
Susan Ashline departs from the traditional lecture format for this session. Rather than prepared remarks, the discussion unfolds as a Q&A, with the audience setting the agenda. Bring your questions about true crime: the cases, the psychology, the ethical gray areas, the realities behind the headlines. Bring your questions about traditional publishing: finding an agent, submitting to publishers, navigating contracts, and what happens behind the scenes as a book enters the world. Expect candor, storytelling, and insight into the parts of the process most people never see. Come curious; leave informed.
