12/05 Workshop: Humorous Writing by De Speld

12 May 2021 19:00 till 21:00 - By: Communication | Add to my calendar

Writing in a humorous way? Who better to learn from than the infinitely famous, most discussed and hilarious newspaper De Speld (The Pin)!

De Speld (make sure to check out their Instagram!) invariably delivers headlines that make you laugh and think. In the past twelve years they have built up considerable experience in satirical writing, reaching millions of Dutch people every week.

But how do they do it, and how can you use humor in your writing?

In the workshop Humorous Writing, given by writers and performers of De Speld, you learn to write with humor. Of course the workshop is filled with examples of the best headlines of De Speld.
