CAA TORONTO CHAPTER EVENT – Make ‘Em Laugh! Humour Writing Webinar with Terry Fallis

Award-winning novelist, Terry Fallis, will lead a webinar on humour writing covering a range of topics, including why humour writing is hard, how to transfer humour to the page, humour writing techniques, accepting that not every reader will “get you,” and who to read if you want to learn and laugh. Speaking of laughs, you’ll have a few along the way.

By the end of the webinar, you’ll understand:

• the challenge of making readers laugh through the written word;
• the techniques commonly employed in humour writing;
• the important role judgment and timing play in humour writing.
