Be Funny on Paper: Humour Writing Workshop

This workshop will teach you techniques for expressing humour in your writing, from creating a one-liner to mixing genres for unexpected results. Whether you’re writing fiction, poetry, or nonfiction, you’ll get a chance to learn, experiment, and have fun! Every participant will receive a paper outline (digital also upon request).

What to bring: yourself, something to write with, and (optionally) a short example of writing you find funny

The workshop costs $25 and can be paid in cash at Phoenix Bookstore or by e-transfer – info in registration form: https://forms.gle/4kWB1aehhfGhe3xU7
