WRITING CONFERENCE

Joseph Schneider is the author of the critically acclaimed Tully Jarsdel mysteries. The second in the series, What Waits for You, was named Best of the Month by Apple Books and earned a starred review from Publisher’s Weekly. He has sold multiple television concepts and is currently penning the entire first season of a new police procedural.

Joseph’s talents extend far beyond the written word: He has attended Sideshow School at the historic Coney Island Midway, studying escapology, fire-eating, and other arcane arts of the American carnival. When magic gigs were scarce, Joseph supplemented his income by teaching competitive ballroom dance, and earning an associate degree from the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing. He served as a Teaching Fellow while earning his MFA in creative nonfiction.

He is also a member of the Mystery Writers of America, the Crime Writers’ Association, the Academy of Magical Arts, and the Worshipful Company of Makers of Playing Cards.
