What makes writing funny?
At this Write Club for Grown Ups with author Sarina Dorie, you’ll learn how to identify and break down humor in writing. And then learn to create it yourself.
We’re opening up our popular youth Write Club series for adults: (Because grown ups need clubs and fun too!)
In this two-hour Write Club for Grown Ups workshop with author Sarina Dorie:
- You’ll practice the art of humorous juxtaposition–putting unlike words together–to create funny lists
- You’ll learn how to use the element of surprise to tickle your reader’s sense of humor.
- Plus, you’ll soak up the techniques stand-up comedians use to make their audiences howl with laughter.
Come and play with words! You’ll exercise your wit, make others laugh, and have an entertaining time yourself.
