what scares YOU? thank you so much to the ThillerFest 2026 team for welcoming me as a first-timer! i had to bop around asking some old & new friends what SCARES THEM. 👀 What is ThrillerFest? ThrillerFest is the annual conference of the International Thriller Writers. This unique, popular, and rapidly expanding organization was created in 2005 by several bestselling authors in order to bring thousands of writers, readers, publishers, producers, editors, and agents together to promote and support thriller authors everywhere. The ThrillerFest conference has seven main components: FBI Day, Master Class 1.0, CraftFest, Master Class 2.0, ConnectFest, QueryFest, PitchFest, ThrillerFest, and the Awards Banquet. #thrillerfest #thrillerfest2026 #thrillerbooks #nycinfluencer #bookstagram @internationalthrillerwriters @ktnguyen_author @pavisfrancesca @brian.reads @bringme_books @jenniferpashley @bookswithjams @candice_reads @daniellegirardbooks @andibartz
