The lowdown
BAD is celebrating our tenth anniversary with the best in Australian crime writing.
We’re back at the State Library of NSW offering our mix of debut and established authors in crime fiction, and true crime.
Plus writing workshops, manuscript feedback and pitching sessions to publishers and agents.
It wouldn’t be BAD without our crime walks and the Danger Awards Ceremony where four awards will be presented:
• Best Debut Fiction
• Best True Crime
• Best Crime Non-Fiction, and the
• People’s Choice Award.
There is also a special event at the Awards night to commemorate the 50th year of Agatha Christie’s death and the centenary of her infamous 11-day disappearance.
We hope to see you there!
