Testimonials

“Writers’ Police Academy has been invaluable to me as an author. I probably wouldn’t have conceived of my novels LOST HILLS and BONE CANYON if not for attending WPA and befriending the experts I met there. It has enriched my understanding. You not only learn about experienced law enforcement, but you learn about writing from international bestselling authors, too. WPA is the best conference for crime writers, period.”
Lee Goldberg
#1 New York Times bestselling author

“For crime writers serious about their careers, there’s no better investment of time or money than attending the Writers’ Police Academy.”
Tim Tigner
International Bestselling Author

“The WPA is fascinating, informative, and absolutely stimulating to writers. Top-of-the-line instructors with genuine expertise in their fields not only take you through presentations full of interesting stuff, they willingly answer your questions. It’s great.”
Charlaine Harris
International bestselling author of the "Sookie Stackhouse" novels, the basis for the television series "True Blood."
