Come on down to the Deep South and join the Upstate South Carolina Chapter in Greenville-Spartanburg. Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge (Appalachian) Mountains, the Upstate is a rapidly growing area with a diverse population. We offer virtual presentations once a month and also schedule local in-person meet-ups. Our presentations for 2026 have included “A Day in the Life of a Private Investigator,” “Crafting Authentic Villains,” “Copyright Law for Authors,” and “Social Media for Authors.” Coming up are “CS-LIE: Making Forensics Fun & Believable,” “Writing the Perfect Query Letter,” and “Writing Police Right.”

Upstate South Carolina has a very welcoming membership, with members from all over the country joining our South Carolina locals and networking together. Our newsletter is a dynamic publication where members announce their news, highlight their websites and newsletters, and where we get the latest SinC Worldwide news. We have a great website with lots of useful information, so check that out, and visit our Facebook and Instagram pages. You can play a trivia game, make a guess at “Which Mystery Novel Is This First Line From?” and find out what’s coming up with the chapter. Upstate SC also partners with our local independent bookstores for events, where members can sell their books and enlarge their readership. Dues are only $20, so why not sign up?
