June 6, 2024 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm

It’s No Joke: Honing Humor in Your Work

June 6, 2024 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm

Panelists: Erik Grove, Neve Maslakovic, Curtis C. Chen and Kate Ristau (moderator)
This is a panel that will discuss the merits of adding humor to any story, as well as the ways to do it in a nuanced way. A well-timed joke can break the ice and bring readers into a story but misplaced humor can do the opposite. Writing “funny” is serious business. From quips to pointed satire, comedy comes in many forms; this panel will offer a sample of them and discuss when and how to use them.
