Prime Crime – Indianapolis
October 28, 2022 - October 30, 2022
Prime Crime Festival (formerly Magna Cum Murder) at the Columbia Club
The inaugural Prime Crime at the Columbia Club Crime Writing Festival will be launched at the venerable Columbia Club on Indianapolis’ historic Monument Circle, October 28 – 30, 2022. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Columbia Club is the perfect venue for this unforgettable weekend!
Prime Crime at the Columbia Club is the logical outgrowth of Magna cum Murder which was sponsored by Ball State University from its inception in 1994 until the closure of the E.B. and Bertha C. Ball Center in July, 2020. There was much lamentation when the end of Magna cum Murder was announced, but there’s cause for jubilation now! The schedule for the Prime Crime weekend will closely follow the schedule of McM, but with a few additions we think will enhance the program. One of the tracks of panels will be largely instructional, featuring our author guests who will discuss the nuts and bolts of writing for all the would-be authors in the audience.
