Humor is one of a writer’s best tools, and an oft-underutilized one at that. More than just a hook to get their attention, a well-timed joke can break down a reader’s defenses faster than almost anything else on the page. Want to sharpen your wit-wielding skills? Join Claire Oshetsky, Rebecca Handler, Scott Meyer, and Malik Robinson as they unpack their secrets of how humor can raise the stakes, heighten the drama, and make both tragic and comedic moments hit twice as hard. Moderated by Yuliya Patsay.
