Satirists seem to all just “have it”. So what is their secret and how do they use it? Fear no more, I’m here to reveal all the secrets they might have known.

Make it clear it’s satire! If you don’t tell your audience about the satirical content of your text, it will be misunderstood. Use larger font on the word SATIRE on the title for extra caution! Be obvious. I can’t emphasize this part enough, if they don’t know it’s satire, there’s no meaning in the post. Don’t make fun of anyone. That is just rude, and it doesn’t belong to the literary industry. Use Audible.com to listen to other satirists! Don’t make fun of anything. That is just rude, and doesn’t belong to the literary industry. Don’t make fun of yourself. (See step 3) If your audience doesn’t want to read your text, make them read it. Force it as much as possible. If you make bad content, label it as “intentional”.

Well there you go, wasn’t it easy! Now go on and write your masterful satire on either online or paper! Just remember to write it on surface that captures your writing tool (such as pencil).
