The International Thriller Writers (ITW) organization has created something truly special. A conference/party where bestselling authors and first-time attendees alike are welcomed with kindness, encouragement, and a genuine desire to help one another succeed. Every year I leave with new friendships, new ideas, and renewed excitement to get back to writing. https://www.dukecraig.com/blog/h26jsgwfq4q36rg4flbtkr41l6ja25 monthly 0.5 2026-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63ef928f6d3b01693037f0e5/1785964957334-SEH0IPK1IJ99T1SORGWR/EQMM.jpg Updates from Duke Craig - SHORT STORY IN Ellery Queen Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine recently bought the rights to my short story, “The Listener,” for publication in its September/October issue!

The show was later broadcast on New Hampshire Public Radio. The true story I told is a special one to me. It’s about my unorthodox relationship with my father when I was a child and the search for a priceless possession of his after his death. Listen to the show here! (My portion begins at 28:12, but the entire show is wonderful and worth a listen!) https://www.dukecraig.com/blog/best-pitch-award-awc-nov-2022 monthly 0.5 2023-05-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63ef928f6d3b01693037f0e5/1684977373183-CYSBWQ4RBPSJPCV4XQUY/AWC_Best_Pitch_Logan_Harper_1.jpg Updates from Duke Craig - Best Pitch Award Thank you to Logan Harper at Jane Rotrosen Agency for awarding me with Best Pitch! https://www.dukecraig.com/blog/best-manuscript-award-awc-nov-2022 monthly 0.5 2023-05-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63ef928f6d3b01693037f0e5/1684977404132-PW4M10GFKGLK843HVC1Q/AWC_Best_MS_Kat_Kerr_1.jpg Updates from Duke Craig - Best Manuscript Award Amazing to have won Best Manuscript from Kat Kerr at Donald Maass Literary Agency!
