Simcocks Advocates is to sponsor a Crime Writing evening for Manx LitFest 2025, an event that has become an annual tradition on the island since 2012.
Crime lovers, budding authors and bookworms are encouraged to book tickets to join local published crime writer Rakchel Bennett for the event.
Rakie is author of three published thriller novels, one of which is set on our beautiful Isle of Man.

She will host the talk in conjunction with international bestselling crime authors, Clare Mackintosh and MJ Arlidge, discussing how to craft the perfect crime, create exciting storylines for characters to embark on, and even let you in on tips about how to get your ideas onto paper.
Phil Games, CEO of Simcocks said: “Simcocks takes great pride in supporting a wide range of wonderful Manx charities, whilst simultaneously promoting engagement with the arts on the island.
“We believe that nurturing local talent and immersion in literature is highly important. We’d love to see young Manx people being inspired and supported throughout their writing journeys, and for Simcocks to have a role in that would be an honour.”
