“Sisters in Crime, a national organization founded to promote women in publishing, each year selects one individual to receive the Eleanor Taylor Bland Award, established in 2014 to give emerging voices in the crime and mystery world a leg up, both through a grant and through mentorship opportunities. The Award is currently open to submissions from authors with unpublished manuscripts. You can find more information here.
To celebrate the award and in order to examine the vital role that grants and mentorship play in diversifying fiction, we caught up with three of the crime world’s most respected voices: Rachel Howzell Hall, Alex Segura, and Lori Rader-Day.”
Love me some Sisters in Crime!
