Introducing: The Belladonna Q&A Form
Happy 2/22/22, Belladonnas! Make a wish.
If you wished for a Belladonna Q&A form, congratulations — your wish came true!
One of the things we love most as editors is helping people navigate the weird and often confusing world of humor writing. That’s why we post weekly Tuesday Tips threads on Twitter (@The_Belladonnas), give writing advice in our newsletter, and host The Pipeline workshops. We want you to succeed! But we rarely ask what YOU want to know.
So let’s try something different! Ask us any questions you may have about submitting to the site, writing short humor, writing long humor, writing non-humor, promoting a piece, how we run the site… really anything related to The Belladonna. We’ll answer them in our tip threads and newsletters.
Don’t be shy! There’s no such thing as a stupid question.*
*But there IS such a thing as an inappropriate question. Don’t be rude or disrespectful, or we’ll have to close the form. Thanks for understanding!
