We’ll be brutally honest with you: Humor writing is hard. Not impossible, but hard. However, it can be easier with the right process and feedback. In this workshop, Alex will teach you that process. In fact, this workshop will demystify humor writing.
Workshop Takeaways
The core principles of the humor piece (that you should follow 95% of the time).
How to get noticed by editors and published in humor sites.
To efficiently vet good humor ideas so that you don’t waste your time.
The common blunders that undermine your written humor and prevent it from being published. And how to avoid these blunders like a boss.
Editing techniques to sharpen up your pieces and take them from “meh” to actually funny.
How to use peer feedback and iterative writing to your advantage.
You will leave this workshop with one to two finished humor drafts—assuming you do the work!
