Mitchell Toews, writer
Mitchell Toews lives and writes at Jessica Lake in Manitoba. When an insufficient number of, “We are pleased to inform you…” emails are on hand, he finds alternative joy in the windy intermingling between the top of the water and the bottom of the sky or skates on the ice until he can no longer see the cabin.
Mitch’s writing has appeared in CommuterLit, Fiction on the Web, Literally Stories, Storgy, Fictive Dream, Cabinet of Heed, Fabula Argenta, Pulp Literature, Quail Bell, Lunate Fiction, Riddle Fence, Agnes & True, and more, including a number of anthologies. Details at his website, Mitchellaneous.com
“Hans Christian Andersen, the Hardy Boys, comic books, the University of Manitoba Extension Library…and the short stories in my dad's Esquire Magazines were all contributors to my eventual inky ambitions.”
