Write More Good: Social Media and Satire
As a contributing writer to the Twitter feed @FakeAPStylebook, Anna Neatrour makes a living making a mockery of stodgy writing manuals and their endless rules for punctuation, word usage, and grammar. In this hilarious and informative event, Neatrour will share her expertise of social media, discuss the impact of satire, and tell the tale of turning 140-character tweets into a 272-page book.
Write More Good: An Absolutely Phony Guide, by FakeAPStylebook contributors collectively known as The Bureau Chiefs, was named one of “5 Funny Books to Beat the Heat” by NPR and hailed by Kirkus Reviews as “an acerbic, witty guide to journalism that, if used, would get you fired.”
Neatrour is a librarian who lives in Salt Lake City with her librarian husband and twin boys (who are not librarians). She also blogs at TangoganT.
