ABOUT THIS SESSION

Crime fiction and true crime often begin with the same question: what does justice really look like? Amanda Kyle Williams, Connie Dial, Michelle Gagnon, and Vicki Delany share how their experiences with true crime and law enforcement inspired stories that balance procedural detail with emotional truth. This session looks at where justice, morality, and humanity meet on the page.
