Lovers of true crime and aspiring writers are invited to embark on an evening of captivating intrigue at Beacon Litfest’s “Murder She Wrote: A True Crime Writing Workshop” on Thursday, Nov. 14, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at The Factory Hotel.

The workshop, orchestrated by Cynthia Weiner of The Writers Studio in NYC, offers a rare opportunity to delve into the labyrinth of true crime fiction. Weiner, author of the forthcoming A Gorgeous Excitement, will guide participants through the intricate process of reimagining true crime events, including elements from the notorious “preppy murder” case, into compelling narrative fiction.

Guests can enjoy a kaleidoscopic buffet, with vegan options, while engaging in an intensive writing session designed to intertwine real crime elements into unique, mosaic-like storytelling. Tickets, priced at $50, include food, beverages, writing materials, and the chance to submit a reworked piece for next year’s Noir panel at Beacon Litfest.
