Welcome
|
Mystery Writers Ink
was incorporated as a non-profit society in
Calgary, Alberta, Canada in May 2002.
Mystery Writers Ink supports writers of
mystery fiction by:
|
| |
- educating and informing writers about writing techniques,
publishing and marketing
- providing networking opportunities for writers
|
|
|
|
Meetings are made up of three sections: business,
networking and education. Our education sessions are divided
between General Writing topics and Mystery Writing research.
|
 |
Some examples of content experts we have heard
from -- a gun expert, a white hat hacker and a forensic
pathologist.
|
|
|
|
 Check back regularly for
news about other members, the writing community, courses, readings,
past issues of our newsletter Mystery Press, and other
goodies of interest to members. |
