Teen Mystery Writing Workshop with Toronto author Evan Munday
What do young girls and dead people solving mysteries have to do with the library? Well a fair amount if you read any paranormal themed book these days. Paranormal romances, mysteries, thrillers, comedies, and mash ups (think "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies") are still very popular at the library.
The library is very excited to actually have one of those paranormal authors coming to the library to give a workshop on mystery writing for teens. The workshop will be led by Evan Munday who has just published his fantastic novel debut "The Dead Kid Detective Agency" which in this librarians humble opinion is sort of like Daniel Pinkwater meets Encyclopedia Brown (and well frankly that is a recipe for success)!
Evan's unique approach to his workshop is that all the attendants have to help solve a mystery. So, not only are they learning how to write a mystery, but with a hands on approach that exhibits the theoretical while making it understandable and accessible.
The workshop takes place on Saturday December 17th 2011 at the North York Central library and runs from 11-12:30. Space is limited so sign up is required. 416-395-5672.
