Craft Writing Funny – Bring Comedy into Your Fiction with Becky Martinez

What is a good way to distinguish yourself as an author? To make readers look specifically for your books next time they are visiting Amazon or in a bookstore? Easy! It’s an old tradition that goes way back and has been a staple in books, movies and plays forever – make them laugh! Comedy is an excellent way to bring readers into your story world whether you’re writing romance, suspense, fantasy or science fiction. Yes, we love visiting new worlds, we love seeing romances blossom, but everything is a whole lot better when we get a laugh or two to go along with it. That’s what makes romantic comedy movies and books so popular. Whether you’re writing suspense or fantasy, some light moments can make a difference. In this intensive class we’ll look at some of the principles of writing comedy and what you can do to introduce those elements to your stories and books, or to write your own rom-com book or humorous mystery.
