Do you want to make your writing funnier?

I’m co-teaching a short, fun, and free Zoom workshop with Scott Dikkers, founding editor of The Onion.

Whether you write fiction or nonfiction, we’ll give you some tips to add humor to any kind of writing.

When: Sat. March 22, Noon — 1:30 CT

Taught by…

Scott Dikkers — Founding editor of The Onion, NYT best-selling author of 30 humor books, founder of How To Write Funny.

Alex Baia (that’s me)— humor writer for The New Yorker and other publications, and editor of Slackjaw on Medium.

Anyone who wants to make their writing funnier will love this workshop!

The workshop includes a Q&A at the end, so bring your questions about humor writing.

You can sign up here.

(note: You’ll get a confirmation email with the Zoom link, so be sure to check.

However, If you’re already on my list, you won’t get a confirmation email, but don’t worry — I’ll have you confirmed for the workshop and I’ll send the link again to everyone the week before.)

Hope to see you there!
