Sisters in Crime launched in 1986 with Sara Paretsky, author of the internationally bestselling V. I. Warshawski novels, as the organizing president. Local chapters quickly emerged and the Sisters in Crime-Colorado chapter formed in 2015. We're proud to say we're one of the largest and most energetic chapters in the United States, thanks to our amazing founding members -- many are still active!
Learn more about Sisters in Crime, now worldwide, and its history. To join a local chapter, you must first join the worldwide group, which offers numerous benefits and a particular focus on newer writers ('Guppies').
All SinC memberships end on Dec. 31, unless you have joined after Oct. 1 of that same year, in which case your membership will come due at the end of the following year.
