Writing humor is serious business. Just ask Donna Cavanagh, author of the newly published How to Write and Share Humor: Techniques to Tickle Funny Bones and Win Fans. A former journalist and syndicated columnist, Cavanagh gained a national audience when her work landed in the pages of First Magazine, USA Today and other national media. She launched HumorOutcasts.com in 2011 as an outlet for writers to showcase their work in a world that offered few avenues for humor. The site now features the creative talents of more than 100 aspiring and accomplished writers, producers, comics and authors from all over the world. She has taught the how-to lessons of humor, blogging and publishing at The Philadelphia Writers' Conference and the Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop. Cavanagh has penned four humor books Reality: Fantasy's Evil Twin, Try and Avoid the Speed Bumps, A Canine's Guide to the Good Life (which she wrote with her dogs Frankie and Lulu) and Life On the Off Ramp.
