INSIDE JOKES covers everything from the basics of what to write about, to joke writing, to satire, to funny personal essays, memoir, fiction, and joking about "impossible" topics. The book also incorporates interviews with almost 100 working writers, authors, and performers.

It’s a craft book and creativity guide designed be used at colleges and universities as well as for adults writers and learners.

I’ll be be giving talks at universities, writing programs (including low-res MFA programs) and other venues to support the book, as well as developing curriculum based on it. Please reach out to me at caitlin [dot] kunkel [at] gmail [dot] com if you’d like to work together!
