Tips for Every Writer
Every scribbler, scribe, and pen-wielder on a quest to jazz up their writings knows that crafting a chuckle is no cakewalk. After all, humor’s a slippery eel in the toolbox of literary gizmos – you can’t just waggle your eyebrows or nudge your reader in the ribs through the page. Instead, you’ve got to be a timekeeper and a mind-reader, dishing out giggles with pinpoint precision. Let’s face it, when you’re aiming for laughter in your magnum opus, you can’t afford to have the whoopee cushion go off at the wrong moment.
In this episode of Pros Talking Prose, Troy Lambert, author, editor, and all-around plotting guru, and Stacey, editor and publishing coach for award-winning and best-selling self-published authors, invite Danielle Parker, Author of hilariously frightening horror comedy novels, talk about injecting humor into your manuscript.
“Pros Talking Prose” might just be the best thing since sliced bread – at least in the literary world. Gracing the hallowed halls of YouTube is the Read Write Random Channel, where Troy and Stacey, our resident bookworms extraordinaire, talk a blue streak about all things editing.
It’s like being a fly on the wall of a secret society where the magic words are “syntax” and “plot holes.” Ever wanted to eavesdrop on book editors as they spill the tea on the publishing biz, dole out nuggets of wordy wisdom, and have a good old grumble about semi-colons gone rogue? Well, now’s your chance.
Dive into our videos and you’ll find out what really ruffles an editor’s pages. It’s basically everything you never knew you needed – like listening to your wacky aunts argue over the Oxford comma at Thanksgiving. So, come soak in all that juicy editorial gossip.
