How can humor be used to enhance storytelling and create memorable characters? What are the secrets to writing compelling, comic dialogue?

Daisy Buchanan is a best-selling author known for her contemporary comedies that explore big, bold themes. Her fourth novel, Pity Party, tells the story of Katherine, who is suddenly widowed at 30 and struggling to make sense of her grief. 

Join us for a Q&A with Daisy as we delve into her writing process, the power of humor in storytelling, and how to create vibrant, relatable characters.

We’ll also discuss:

  • Why Daisy writes and reads funny books

  • Using humor to bring lightness to your work and enhance dark elements

  • Writing sparky, comic dialogue that sounds real

  • Working to the rhythm of comedy and incorporating its musicality into your writing

  • Anchoring references to make your reader feel included
