This ALL NEW 5 volume edition of Cantu's Real World Examples of Editing and Updating Jokes Study Series is based on the premise that a lot of non-comedy people often turn to joke books to cull items. And surprise - many pros also use joke books as an idea simulator - especially when they are suffering from severe writers' block or have a fast approaching deadline.
Real World Examples of Editing and Updating Jokes Study Series is an over the shoulder look at a comedy writer batting around some jokes and updating and editing them for better clarity and bigger laughs.
In the original Jokes Study Series John tossed jokes he had written in the late 70's to Paul Giles for editing and comments.
What's So Unique About Joke Study Series? Here's Giles' take on the series: "Until now, books on jokes were in one of two categories – a volume filled only with jokes, or a how-to on writing comedy material. There was no instructional value in the joke books, and in the how-to books there were too few real-world examples of one-liners and how to adapt or fix them. These volumes fill that gap beautifully by doing both."
Each issue has 250 usable jokes, plus tips on how to adapt jokes to any occasion. Purchase one or all to use, and learn from two pros about writing funny.
