Continuing Humor Writing Workshop II: Already completed Pamela's Humor Writing I? Want to delve deeper, complete an essay or memoir & learn more advanced humor/creative non-fiction techniques?
Join me in creating a vibrant edgy humorist community in the redwoods of Marin---yes funny people live here too. Art is not dead. Keep a fire under your derriere!
You will READ a little and WRITE a lot. You will analyze funny writers, steal from funny memoirists from Sedaris to Tsing Loh to Jazmin Darznik among others--You will listen and learn from podcasts and comics and storytellers on The Moth. You will hone your known techniques and learn a few new ones. Finally, as always you will revise one essay to share with a supportive group of friends and family in a gathering to kick off the summer!
*OPEN TO MOTIVATED NEW WRITERS & EXPERIENCED WRITERS who have not taken humor 1-- if enrollment numbers allow. You may be asked to complete a reading and one private meeting in order to catch up on any missed material. Please feel free to apply and email me with any questions!
Once a month on the FIRST TUESDAY 12-2pm * March 5, April 2nd, May 7th, June 4th
Reading Thursday, June 6th 7pm
At The Hivery, Mill Valley, CA
Can I sign up after the class has begun? If there's still space in class you can join the class as late as the second class. You will be expected to do any readings in order to stay in the loop.
How do I stay motivated in between classes?
Once a week you will receive an email nudge or a post on our Group Page from Pamela and feedback and encouragement from your peers! Each writer will have the opportunity to submit 2 essays and one revision--more or less depending on your own productivity level.
You will receive ongoing coaching/editing from me as well as have the chance to have a supportive community to carry you through the year!

Refund Policy: I get that life happens. If you drop out or decide to cancel (for any reason, even if the firetruck throws you into the river while you're riding your Elephant across town) the deposit is not refundable. If you drop out on or prior to the deadline for full payment, you may get back your class fee minus your deposit (if you've paid full fee by this point). Any drop outs that occur on or after the deadline for payment will not be refunded. We are entering into a contract in which I will support and honor your creative life! I'll assume you've read this if you register. Sound dictatorial? I'm actually really nice :)
