Crime and Publishment is the brainchild of Graham Smith and Inga McVicar. The two met while Inga was the project manager for Destination Dumfries and Galloway - a destination management organisation whose mandate was to promote, represent and develop tourism in Dumfries and Galloway. Graham is on the board of DD&G and the two soon found a shared interest in crime fiction.

Together they came up with the idea of hosting a weekend of crime centred creative writing workshops and Crime and Publishment was born. Using both their professional expertise and contacts within the publishing industry, the pair created a unique offering which has attracted widespread interest from all manner of groups within the tourism and publishing sectors.
