A 3-HOUR WORKSHOP WITH ELISSA BASSIST
How To Write Funnier
SUNDAY AUGUST 3rd 2:00 - 5:00 p.m. EST
You don’t have to be born with a sense of humor to be funny and to write funny. Funny is a skill like any other. In this workshop experience, we’ll break down the skill and gossip about how/when to use it to take your writing to the next level.
Elissa will share every known secret to joke with confidence about yourself, your life, and your world. Not to brag, but you can apply humor-writing tools and tricks to all writing, including memoir, novels, and dating profiles.
Writers of every level will learn concrete ways to use their own lives to be funnier in their writing. By the end of our time together, everyone will know 50-ish new devices to be funnier on the page and at parties, but if that doesn’t happen, it's not my fault.
