Mystery Florida is a not-for-profit corporation that supports the Longboat Key Library and the Tingley Memorial Library in Bradenton Beach, Florida. The 2010 conference will be our 6th annual event. The conference is a gathering of published authors, aspiring authors, publishing company and film executives, agents, editors and fans. Over the years we have had some success with pairing aspiring writers with agents and publishers, resulting in the aspiring writer becoming a published writer. At least two of these writers have gone on to win national literary awards. The conference is limited to the first 100 registrants. We limit the number of participants so that we can retain the intimacy of the small gathering and give the fans an opportunity to meet and talk with their favorite writers. The Patron's dinner on Saturday evening gives the fans an opportunity to dine at a table with one of the featured authors.
