Panel Session: Pick Your Poison
You will hear:
MC Catherine du Peloux Menagé
Panellists Jack Heath, Meg Keneally and Tansy Rayner Roberts
Podcaster Barbie Robinson
Cosy? Noir? Thriller? Historical?
Jack Heath and Tansy Rayner Roberts join Meg Keneally to examine how crime and mystery writers choose their sub-genres. How clearly defined are the sub-genres and what are the conventions of each? Does each sub-genre have a different typical reader?
Jack’s adult crime fiction novels, Hangman and Hunter, sit firmly at the noir end of the crime fiction spectrum.
Tansy, writing as Livia Day, crafts the cosy culinary Tabitha Darling series.
Meg is the author of Fled and the Monsarrat Series of historical murder mysteries with co-author Tom Keneally.
