Join us for a 90-minute workshop on crime/mystery writing with Malice in Memphis a Killer Writing Group. Crime writing is best described as any story in which a crime has been committed—murder, fraud, con, embezzlement, etc. The program is being offered both in-person and virtually. Participants may choose to attend at the library or receive a link for the Zoom meeting. Ages 18+. Pre-registration is required and begins November 18. For more information, call 901-757-7323, email rbabb@germantown-tn.gov, or visit the information desk.
Malice is a mystery-writer’s organization that meets the second Saturday of the month either on Zoom or at the Bartlett Library—or both. The group is open to all writers of all genres since every good story MUST have an element of mystery in it. Malice offers critique groups, the possibility of publication in an anthology of short stories, and tips on improving writing skills.
