The June 2020 Edition of The Big Thrill

We’re late! Website maintenance pushed our June issue a few days behind schedule, but we hope you’ll agree—the content is worth the wait. This month, Dawn Ius goes Between the Lines with ITW Best Hardcover nominee Joe Clifford, Kate White talks to bestselling thriller authors about life imitating art, and for this month’s Africa Scene, Michael Sears chats with Peter Kimani about a thrilling new anthology, Nairobi Noir. Plus, we get up close with D. P. Lyle, J. A. Jance, Jon Land, Iris Johansen, and many more authors of bestselling thrillers. The June issue of The Big Thrill is live now!

But we have fantastic news! We are offering a virtual conference so our attendees can remain safe in the comfort of their homes yet still participate in the learning and camaraderie that is the hallmark of the annual conference of the International Thriller Writers. No travel, no hotel stay, but an even more extensive array of bestselling ITW authors who can help you polish your thrillers and top drawer New York agents and editors to whom you can pitch—along with attractive prices!
