Biff Mitchell’s Murder and Mayhem Mystery Writing Workshop

The Murder and Mayhem Mystery Writing Workshop is an exploration into the art of creating compelling fiction that perplexes, intrigues, puzzles and entertains with special attention to creating suspense and atmosphere, building believable worlds for murder and mayhem and populating those worlds with mysterious characters. You’ll learn how to plot the perfect murder kill off your friends and loved ones – and your enemies – without going to jail.

This is not a course. It’s a workshop. You will be required to write. It’s what mystery writers do.

Biff Mitchell's novels have been published in Canada, Australia and the United States. His blend of off-beat humor and surrealism make him one of Canada’s most obscure writers. Besides being a regular contributor to the award-winning Twisted Tails anthologies, his short fiction and not-poetry has appeared in anthologies, collections, ezines and magazines. Biff is the creator of the notorious Writing Hurts Like Hell workshop.
