HOW TO WRITE A FUNNY BOOK
DAVE COHEN & TONY HAWKS
Did you know that 40% of all TV shows and movies are book adaptations? There's never been a better time to write one.
There are a thousand books out there telling you how to market and publish but nothing – nothing! – about how to write a laugh-out-loud novel.
Join Dave and Tony (bestselling author of Round Ireland With A Fridge) as they take you through the clear and simple steps to develop your comic masterpiece. Romance, Sci-fi, murder mystery, even dark crime books – every genre of book can be greatly improved by adding humour. including non-fiction.
“Being taken step by step, to tight time frames, has given a brilliant insight into the process. If anyone was thinking of trying their hand at narrative writing, they would do well to try your course.” Lee Dixon

“I liked how you tried to involve everyone, regardless of their ability (as a fairly shy person this really helped me). I was apprehensive about group writing activities after only ever writing alone but was surprised how much I got out of them. It made me want to do more of it in the future.” Martin Bickle
“I particularly enjoyed thinking about and discussing what made a memorable character – hearing other people’s thoughts and meeting the other members of the class was really great.” Jane McCutcheon
“It was spot on for me. Have already recommended it to a couple of friends & work colleagues.” John Sandy
“This sitcom writing course has been a wonderful inroad into a field I’d always wanted to enter but was never sure how to go about it. Thank you so much for all of it.” James Allen
“You really delivered the essentials & anyone doing this course will be well equipped to execute a script. Your style is so straightforward & you really make effort to include everyone – I imagine everyone left the class yesterday feeling like they had been paid attention as writers as well as being giving the tools to do the job.” Maryann Devally
“Thank you so much for today, really enjoyed it. It really opened my eyes to new character-led plot.” Robert Rivett
