The Vancouver Sun on Jan Underwood

The Vancouver Sun

The Vancouver Sun

Last weekend,

Rebecca Wigod, the books editor at the Vancouver Sun, joined Jan Underwood, Will Ferguson, Kathy Buckworth, T.J. Dawe, Hal Wake and other great writers and thinkers to discuss the art and craft of humour writing at the 2010 Symposium on the Book at the SFU Summer Publishing Workshops in Vancouver. In this week’s Saturday Sun, Wigod talks about the event, and about Jan’s presentation on the 11 principles of good written humour.

(If you want to see Jan put her 11 principles to work, grab a copy of Day Shift Werewolf, her very funny 2005 winning 3-Day Novel entry.)
