Reseña del editor

How to Write Funny teaches writers how to sharpen their sense of humor and incorporate humor into their work. They won't learn how to write comedy, such as sitcoms or stand-up, but rather how to add humor to any kind of writing from short stories and novels to columns and memoirs, John combines a mix of classic and original articles with ten full-length interviews with famous (and very funny!) authors, including Dave Berry, P.J. O'Roark, Jennifer Cruise, Tom Bodet, Bill Bryson, Joe R. Landsdale, Roy Blunt and others. Readers will discover the many different aspects of humor and how they can put them to use by creating humorous characters, writing humorous dialogue and recognizing the value of including humor in writing that may not otherwise be considered funny. The light, humorous tone makes this book both an effective teaching tool and an easy read.
