Jen Collins Moore, Tina deBellegarde, Carol Pouliot, and Lida Sideris are the mystery writers behind Sleuths and Sidekicks, a group that celebrates the art of the mystery story. They regularly team up to present panels, workshops and services for writers and interested mystery readers alike.
Workshops
Looking for a team who can introduce emerging writers to the art of mystery writing? Look no further. The women behind Sleuths and Sidekicks offer workshops on many topics including settings, characters, clues and red herrings, Agatha Christie, and more.
“One of the best workshops I have ever attended. So practical and down to earth, with such good pointers and tips.”
— Jo, Connecticut
“The workshops with Carol, Tina, Lida and Jen were fantastic. They are fully committed in helping new writers understand how to write mystery and, especially, how to enjoy the craft of writing.”— Laura Woodward Cavers, New Canaan Library
