Brangien Davis
Brangien Davis is founder, publisher, and editor-in-chief of Swivel: The Nexus of Women and Wit . Called "a one-two punch of style and substance" by Bust magazine, Swivel is the only nationally distributed literary journal devoted to smart, funny writing by smart, funny women. Since running a humor magazine does not, as it turns out, lead to raking in of dough, Brangien also engages in many freelance gigs. She contributes arts and entertainment coverage and humor essays to The Seattle Times, and her her journalism has appeared in The Village Voice, Wired, Seattle Magazine, Venus, Northwest Home and Garden, and elsewhere. Her creative work has been published or is forthcoming in Swivel, Lime Tea, The Cream City Review, and McSweeney's. In her spare time, she pursues gravitas.

Testimonials


The seminar was very good. The instructor was very well-prepared and brought a lot of materials that were very helpful. She even managed to squeeze in some time for three writing examples. I'm glad I took it, and would highly recommend Brangien Davis as an instructor again! -- Kari O'Driscoll, freelance writer

"Brangien Davis is serious about laughing. Teaching people to write has always been mystical, and teaching people to write funny -- you might as well be Lao-Tzu. But when it came to nailing down the specific archetypes of humor essay writing, Brangien did so with a master carpenter's spit and sweat. You'll see different after this class. What was once splitting your head will split your side." -- Jamie Friddle, freelance writer and editor
