Hi Alex. This is a good summary. I’ve been incorporating humor and occasional satire into my works for a long time, and have garnered a lot of rejections, although not specifically for humor/satire pieces. I’ve been fortunate to get two pieces into Slackjaw now (somewhat coincidentally, one I just revised based on your recommendations). I can’t argue with far more successful writers, but I’ve never found humor to be that difficult. It just kind of pours out . . . when it does. When it doesn’t, I do something else. That’s not to say I don’t revise; certainly, I do. Maybe it’s just a matter of how one defines “work.” ;-)
