Welcome to the New York Tri-State Chapter of Sisters in Crime!
If you’re a crime fiction writer looking for community, connection, and craft support from folks who really get it, you’re in the right place. Whether you’re writing a cozy mystery, crime drama, or a crime mystery including murder, or you’ve got a shelf full of published thrillers, our chapter is where you can find your next step.
We’re the New York Tri-State Chapter of Sisters in Crime, a national organization dedicated to supporting crime writers of all genders and backgrounds. This chapter? We’re the electric pulse of crime writing in the city that never sleeps, and the creative heartbeat of mystery, noir, thriller, cozy, and suspense authors from across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
We come from all walks of life. Some of us are former cops, poets, lawyers, screenwriters, teachers, librarians, and techies. We all share a passion for stories that crackle with suspense and truth.

Why It Matters (and Why You Belong Here)
We all know this truth. Writing can be lonely. Publishing can be frustrating. But it doesn’t have to be.
Research shows that people stick with their goals longer and find more success when they feel part of a community. And that’s exactly what we offer: a vibrant, connected, experienced group of mystery minds who are writing, and living, their own definition of success.
Plus, when you join us, you boost your visibility. (Yes, reciprocal website links. Yes, social promo. Yes, more eyeballs on your work.)
Want In?
If you’re curious, creative, and committed to telling great crime stories, we’d love to meet you.
