Make 'Em Laugh!

No matter the genre, every writer can benefit from incorporating humour. Whether to relieve tension, refine a character, or provoke a belly laugh, a bit of funny improves any text. In this intensive three-hour workshop you will learn tips, techniques, and lasting lessons to help you develop your comedic writing while testing out your material with fellow workshop participants.
