Writing Topical Satire…Fast!

Got opinions? Mad about something? Do you have a person or institution in power you want to criticize? We bet you do! Satirist Caitlin Kunkel will teach you how to synthesize facts and research—then make it funny. She’ll help guide students from the brainstorming process to forming a comedic premise and inserting your point of view into a humour piece. We’ll discuss forms used on sites like McSweeney’s and The New Yorker, where satire pieces frequently go viral and can lead to book deals and increased followings.
