“The Punchline Writing Cohort was one of the most challenging and rewarding things I have ever done. Joy has a gift for activating people by her conveyed belief in them, and her natural coaching abilities. This cohort was invigorating, rigorous and incredibly fruitful and valuable. The systematic way that the assignments were laid out to build upon each other made the writing process cohesive and seamless. The Punchline staff and editors were impressively meticulous and encouraging. I would do this course again one hundred times over!”
