Writing humor is subjective and challenging – thankfully, there are many ways to create it. How to Write Funny provides advice, insights and humor from more than twenty writers with a gift for making readers laugh.

In a diverse collection of articles and interviews, both classic and new, this esteemed group of writers, including Dave Barry, Bill Bryson and Jennifer Crusie, provides different viewpoints on how humor works on the page, whether in short stories, memoirs, novels or articles. You'll learn the principles and basic forms of comedy, when to break the rules of reason, the importance of being yourself, why you should stop trying to hard to be funny, and how to write for specific genres and audiences.

You'll also sit in on a special roundtable discussion featuring P.J. O'Rourke, Mark Leyner, Maggie Estep and James Finn Garner, as well as a one-of-a-kind “how-to” workshop conducted by funny lady and best-selling author Jennifer Crusie.

You've got a sense of humor. You've got the will to write. Combining the two, and getting it right, will bring a smile to your face and a chuckle to your readers.

    Language, plot, character development and comic timing were just some of the lessons they learned from movies and TV, probably without knowing they were learning anything at all. Like all good writers, funny or serious, they learned to open their minds to the influence and stimulation of whatever the world had to offer. They learned to apply their imaginations to the material gathered in their spongelike minds. The results have benefited us all.

    For most of them, movies and television worked on their writing sensibilities in a subliminal way

    With the possible exception of Sherman Alexie, who is now producing movies and doing stand-up comedy in addition to writing, our featured writers did not study TV and movies to learn how to be funny.
