Welcome to the Thrillerfest V Blog!

We hope you'll bookmark us, just as you bookmark so many of the hundreds of the International Thriller Writers that participate in our annual conference, held in New York City in July.

ITW is a youthful organization, always ready for a new way of looking at things. You'll find that dynamism here, in blog posts from authors, agents, editors and Thrillerfest attendees, past and present.

And that same excitement you feel from your favorite reads is evident in everything ITW does, and no wonder--the organization, staffing and publicity for ThrillerFest--including this new blog--is undertaken by volunteers, most of whom are ITW authors themselves.

So pull up a chair and stay awhile ... discover the latest news on what Thrillerfest V--the fifth anniversary of the conference--has to offer. Visit old friends, make new ones, ask questions, and hear about the remarkable things in store for the conference.

Whether or not you can come see us in New York--and we hope that you can!--please join us here. It's gonna be ... a thriller!

Your ThrillerFest Wishlist for 2010

Everyone is already looking into their crystal ball for ThrillerFest 2010! The last convention was a great success and you can still order the audio tracks for the workshops! But what I really want to know is how can we out-do ourselves next year?

It's always a challenge to be better each year and the best way to be better is to get feedback and find those authors, events and fun times that YOU are interested in! What would you like to see for the next ThrillerFest?
