Can’t make it to the live class? No problem! All classes are recorded and made available to class registrants for one month.
Think funny writers are natural comedians? Not always! Comedy is a craft that can be learned like any other.
This class will introduce tips, tricks, and easy ways to lighten up dialogue and prose to be more humorous in conceptual humor pieces like the ones that appear in McSweeney’s and The New Yorker‘s “Shouts & Murmurs.”
The class will cover:
- Types of humor (parody, satire, comedic monologues, and others).
- Strategies and appropriateness for each type.
- Outlets that accept humor submissions.
- Ways to raise your profile as a humor writer.
TAKE THIS CLASS IF:
- You want to sharpen your satire skills.
- You’re intrigued by humor writing but don’t know where to start.
- You want to inject more levity into your prose.
The deadline to register for this class is Friday, May 26 at 5:00 PM CT.
