Publishing Pathways: Mystery *

Genre Breakout Session

Join Cindy Quayle for a breakout session about Mysteries!

Working with their peers, writers will discuss ways to make their work marketable, whether it is to agents, publishers or readers. Writers will practice talking about their work succinctly. The discussion will be moderated by a writer who has gone through the publishing process in the genre. This session will also allow writers to meet make connections with other writers.

About the moderator

Cindy Quayle is the author of the Claire O’Keefe Mystery series, cozy whodunits set in a variety of ocean and sea scuba diving destinations. After years of teaching students, Cindy took the plunge into fiction with her debut novel, Death on Cozumel Island, inspired by a family scuba diving vacation to Cozumel. When she's not writing, Cindy teaches ESL part time and is a co-owner of a Next Day Access franchise serving Northwest Arkansas and the Little Rock area, helping individuals create safer, more accessible homes. She also draws inspiration from her love of travel and the underwater world. An avid scuba diver, she enjoys exploring new dive sites and weaving the sights, culture, and atmosphere of each location into her stories. Cindy enjoys connecting with readers and is active on social media, where she shares updates on her writing life, travel adventures, accessibility advocacy, and upcoming Claire O’Keefe mysteries.

This workshop is part of our Publishing Pathways series for adults interested in writing and publishing their work, including poetry, fiction, non-fiction, and journalistic writing of all lengths and styles.
