    52+ guests! That's a wrap.

    Hey everybody, Danielle here.  I set out to interview 52 guests about the craft of writing narrative comedy. Oh my goodness, what an adventure and education. And now I’m at challenge complete. For me, these episodes have become a treasure chest of tools and approaches that I get to apply to my own work. And It’s been a delight to hear from other writers around the world who have found them helpful. You’re always welcome to find me here: https://comedymasterclass.com/contact
