One of the best things about Left Coast Crime is the chance to get to know your fellow readers and writers. But sometimes, during the excitement and flurry of activities, it’s not always easy to find time to meet your favorite writer. Author-Reader Connections provide an easy forum for readers and authors to enjoy some time together. These Author-Reader Connections are free, and in some cases may include some special benefits from the authors.
Registration for the 2025 Author-Reader Connections is now closed. Contact information has been sent to the hosts.
Click the link for detaila about each Connection (scroll down).
Only registered attendees may sign up for Author-Reader Connections. Individuals may sign up for no more than two Connections and no more than one per Author.
NOTE: Because of the way EventBrite works, all the Connections are listed as “online” even though they obviously are not. We cannot specify individual locations for each Connection so the location is “To Be Announced.” The real location is listed in the details.
