No matter your writing wheelhouse, it's important to know how to write funny. A sharp punchline, a witty character, or an uproarious scene can inject life and balance into your work. Satire and humor writer, editor, and teacher Brooke Preston (former faculty member at The Second City, co-founder of The Belladonna, and co-author of the satire book New Erotica for Feminists, whose humor work has appeared in The New York Times, Real Simple, McSweeney's, The Cut, and many more) will guide aspiring, emerging, and experienced writers alike through the basic rules of humor and satire writing, including practical tips and exercises that help evolve funny ideas into fleshed-out characters, jokes, or scenes that strike the right tone for your writing project. We'll also explore how a smart punch-up and edit process is the secret ingredient that turns half-baked hahas into perfectly prepared guffaws.
