SCBWI Mid-Atlantic
Welcome to SCBWI Mid-Atlantic
Welcome to SCBWI Mid-Atlantic, an active community of children's book writers and illustrators living in Washington DC and Virginia. We hope you'll join us for some of our events, whether online on in-person, to build confidence in your craft and to expand your network of fellow creatives.
Kevin is a Cactus: The Seven Rules of Comedy
This energetic workshop teaches the seven rules of comedy and shows how writers can use surprise, timing, rhythm, and character to create memorable humor in any genre. Using rules from Vaudeville, Stand-up, and late-night television, Tom walks you through the science of comedy and how written and spoken comedy is a craft that can be learned... as long as you aren't a cactus.
