| FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 8, 2007 Contact: Dr. Roberta Isleib MADISON AUTHOR ELECTED PRESIDENT OF SISTERS IN CRIME
| ||
|
Anchorage, Alaska At the Bouchercon World Mystery Convention in Anchorage, Alaska, Roberta Isleib was elected to serve as the 21st president of Sisters in Crime (SinC). SinC was founded in 1986 by a small group of writers including Sara Paretsky and Nancy Pickard, and has grown to an international organization with over 3400 members. Sisters in Crime began by monitoring review space in newspapers and pointing out potential biases to reviewers. The group found that a book written by a man was seven times more likely to be reviewed than a book by a woman, important because libraries and fans make choices depending on reviews.
Over the past twenty years, Sisters in Crime has continued to combat discrimination against women in the mystery field, educate publishers and the general public as to inequities in the treatment of female authors, raise the level of awareness of their contributions to the field, and promote the professional advancement of women who write mysteries. "We've just completed a wonderful year celebrating our twentieth anniversary of opening doors for women writers," Isleib said. "We're very excited about looking ahead." Isleib is a clinical psychologist who resides in Madison, CT. Her new mystery series, set in Guilford and New Haven, debuted in March with DEADLY ADVICE (Berkley), starring a psychologist/advice columnist. PREACHING TO THE CORPSE will follow in December 2007. Isleib's golf lovers' mysteries have been nominated for both Agatha and Anthony awards. |
