Class Description

Description

Have you always loved short humor pieces like you find in McSweeney's and The New Yorker's Shouts and Murmurs and want to give it a try?

In this workshop, we'll focus on funny conceptual humor: from parody to imagined dialogues to Decorative Gourds. We'll look at great examples of humor pieces to see what made them work, discuss online and print outlets for humor and learn strategies for making pieces as strong as possible.

We'll also discuss ways of using these techniques to make all kinds of writing funnier. Participants will receive feedback on their work and leave with a good draft and a handful of funny ideas for fictional humor pieces.
