Willamette Writers Coast Chapter Presents
How to Add Humor to Your Writing
This meeting is in-person only.
Feel like you’re one card short of a full deck in your writing? Perhaps it’s the joker card. From cozies to serious drama, humor plays a vital role in storytelling. But what if you’re not funny? The good news is that like other elements of writing, humor techniques can be practiced, learned, and applied to any writing style. The even better news is that doing so is fun.
Join writing coach and humor writer Larry Lehnerz on Saturday, October 21 from 2:00-4:00 pm at the Newport Public Library as he presents his workshop on writing humor for the Willamette Writers Coast Chapter. This meeting is free and open to the public. In this workshop, we will discuss and practice humor writing techniques and send everyone away with a smile.
