We believe that even serious memoir can benefit from a sporadic insertion of humor—readers need some light to balance darkness. We will show you six concrete tips that you can use to give your work a humour makeover (the letter “u” will be used because one of us is Canadian). Then, we will do a LIVE makeover in the workshop to show participants that our methods work. Hypo allergenic non animal testing products will be used. Just kidding. No products will be used. It’s a humour makeover. The makeup makeover is two doors down on the left. Just kidding again.
