This 6-hour humor writing course will teach you how.

Spend a day with the award-winning, best-selling humorist Hollis Gillespie to learn her secrets on how to write humor that sells. If you've been pitching pieces to magazines (or book ideas to agents) that get punted back to you, or even if you're too just uncertain of your ability to simply take the first step in order to do any of the above, then take this Atlanta humor writing course -- a serious class on humor writing (but not too serious).

In this class you will learn:

  • How to master the techniques professional humorists use to create hilarious material.
  • How to spot the humor in everyday occurrences and how to write about them.
  • How to flesh out a funny experience, make it a lot funnier, and extend the length to fill an entire story.

  • How to be inspired in your writing by comedic masters like Dave Barry and David Sedaris and Augusten Burroughs.
  • How to use humor writing to make any content more entertaining and captivating.
  • Where to pitch your humor pieces and humorous book ideas
  • How to get started!
