A group of mystery writers are meeting together at Elaine’s (208 Queen Street) this month for a discussion about writing the genre’s archetypal characters.
Elaine’s, once a restaurant called Bilbo Baggins, opened last year with a second floor designed to hold literary events like author interviews and book launches.
The event, called ‘Writing Cops, P.I.s and Reporters for Fun and Profit,” focuses on tips for writing characters like reporters or private eyes, as well as distinctions between those professions and genres.
“Join mystery writers Dana King, Rick Pullen, Austin Camacho and me for an authors discussion, moderated by Jeffrey James Higgins, on similarities and differences in writing police procedurals, journalistic heroes and private eyes,” author, former police officer, and former reporter Mark Bergin wrote on Facebook.
The event is scheduled for Sunday, Jan. 28 at 1 p.m.
