ABOUT 221B
Where crime
storytelling lives.
We cover the genre, discover and develop its stories, produce it, and bring its community together across television, cinema, literature, and beyond. Everything that falls under crime fiction and true crime, in every form it takes, starts here.
OUR STORY
What began a decade ago as 221B Magazine, the world's first and only publication dedicated exclusively to crime fiction culture, has grown into something larger. Over ten years of covering every corner of the genre, interviewing its most important voices, and building one of the most engaged communities in the industry, we developed a unique understanding of crime fiction and true crime: where the stories are, who tells them best, and how they travel across formats and borders.
That understanding is now the foundation of everything we do. Through 221B Magazine, we continue to set the editorial standard for crime fiction and true crime coverage worldwide. Through 221B Production, we bring crime stories to the screen with the creative vision and market knowledge that only a decade inside the genre can offer. Through 221B Rights, we manage crime fiction and true crime IP for the global market, from literary works with high adaptation potential to crime fiction series, films, and true crime documentaries, connecting the strongest properties with the right producers, platforms, and buyers worldwide. And through 221B Events, we create the spaces where the crime fiction & true crime world comes together, from industry conferences to fan experiences.
221B is not a media company that happens to cover crime fiction and true crime. We are built on the genre itself. It is not what we do. It is who we are.
