Will write for crab cakes
A humorous essay about the joys of co-writing
By Roz Warren (with Janet Golden)
Published:
August 22, 2011 I’m a humor writer. I’ve edited a dozen humor books, and my work has appeared in magazines ranging from The Christian Science Monitor to Beatniks From Space.
My pal Janet is a history professor whose writing had been confined to
academic books and journals and the occasional op-ed. On a drive back
from the Jersey shore one day, we were kibitzing, and Janet had a funny
idea.
“That would make a good essay,” I told her.
“You can write it,” she said.
“Let’s write it together,” I suggested.
We came up with a plan. We’d turn Janet’s funny idea into a humor piece, sell it to The Funny Times, and spend the money on crab cakes at our favorite lunch spot the next time we went to the shore. |
