I enrolled in Justin’s Mechanics of Humor course as I was looking for a way to continue to grow in my skills as a picture book writer. I am so grateful that I did! Specifically, I really appreciated that he spent time talking about humor in all its forms and used sample texts to bring those concepts to life. It gave me a new lens to apply to my manuscripts. Further, he provided a recommended reading list that allowed me to continue to explore the art of crafting humor outside of our time online. The results were that during the course, I fully revised 2 manuscripts and wrote an additional one. Justin pushed us to take a concept and then see how far you could expand upon it. This really small thing has me opening doors to my characters that I hadn’t realized I had closed previously. On top of that, he held office hours where I was able to get direct 1:1 feedback. Justin is an all-around gem to the kid lit community and this course is worth every penny! I wish I would have done it sooner!
