Online Humor Writing

If you want to be a published writer, and if you're sitting on a hyper-specific comical observation that doesn't exactly need to become a full screenplay or novel, then online humor writing may be the perfect format for you! In this workshop, we'll explore different types of humor writing that get published in outlets like The New Yorker, McSweeney's, Reductress and more. Through group and solo writing exercises, we'll generate headline ideas and outline how to expand select headlines into full pieces. Plus, we'll demystify what it looks like to actually submit to humor websites, setting each student up with all the skills necessary to see a piece from conception to publication.
