Are you a wiseguy? Smart aleck? Real weisenheimer? Think there's something funny about the stuff you write? Your prose might knock 'em dead from laughter, but the business of humor writing is a serious one. This group is dedicated to that most oxymoronical of characters, the serious humorist. If you're a working or aspiring humor writer (prose, jokes, screenplays, etc.) serious about developing your talent, you're in the right place. We'll discuss all things related to the business of humor writing, from finding paying markets to locating an agent for your manuscript. We also offer a critique group, where other professional humorists provide input on your manuscript, article, screenplay or what-have-you. Both the discussion list and the crit group are strictly moderated, with no off-topic posting allowed. You must be at least 18 years old to join this group. If you want nuts-and-bolts information and feedback that will help you advance your career, join us today. (Just leave $50 in unmarked bills inside a plain paper bag taped under the sink in the Albuquerque bus depot, and yer IN!)
