Peopling Fiction with Comedy with Gail Carriger

Ms Carriger lectures on how to bring depth of characterization and social subversion to writing using humor. From protagonists to sidekicks to three sentence walk ons, she'll discuss what makes a character funny, and how to give readers the fictional people they adore. She also addresses the many different ways to inject comedy into fiction, and why you might want to.
