Warren Dunford (born 1963) is a Canadian writer, who published three comedic mystery novels in the 1990s and 2000s.[1] All three novels centred on Mitchell Draper, a gay aspiring screenwriter and amateur detective plunged into unusual criminal investigations in the film industries of both Toronto and Hollywood.[1]

A graduate of Ryerson University in radio and television arts, Dunford initially worked as an advertising copywriter[2] and wrote an unproduced screenplay.[3] His first short story, "Moment's Glory", was published in the Toronto Star in 1987.[2]

His first novel, Soon to Be a Major Motion Picture, was published in 1998.[4] The novel was rejected by 100 different publishing companies before being accepted by Riverbank Press.[3]

His second novel, Making a Killing, followed in 2001 and garnered a Lambda Literary Award nomination in the Gay Mystery category at the 14th Lambda Literary Awards in 2002.[5] His third novel, The Scene Stealer, followed in 2005.[3]

He has also been a television writer for the series Canadian Case Files, and has published short stories in Taddle Creek, This Magazine, and the anthologies Upon a Midnight Clear, Quickies II and Queer Fear II.
