THE PLOT THICKENS
Writing, Teaching, and Publishing Mystery Fiction

The May Writer’s Night session will focus

on mystery fiction but will also include a broader discussion of the importance of perseverance and variety, which impact all of us who write and publish. My own publications include short mystery stories, the most recent of which began as a novel-in-a-month; it has taken me four years to turn this work into a publishable story. I have been greatly fortunate to be self-supporting as a writer in part because my work includes a Pearson textbook that seems totally unrelated to mystery fiction, but I believe it fundamentally relies on the same kind of creative energy. I look forward with considerable enthusiasm to your comments, questions, and perspectives about these issues. Speaker - Lyn Fraser
