David Sedaris has long been one of the funniest writers in the
game, and he’s got a method for how he does it. It starts with
observation, always looking for what’s surprising, ridiculous, or a
little bit strange about the world. Then, every single day, he
writes the best ideas down in a journal. But there’s also a
willingness to put himself in absurd situations, like working as a
Christmas elf at Macy’s or cleaning up litter off English country
roads for eight hours a day. He’s sold more than 16 million books,
and he’s been writing for The New Yorker for more than 30 years.
Today, he’s here to teach us how he does it. About the host Hey!
I’m David Perell and I’m a writer, teacher, and podcaster. I
believe writing online is one of the biggest opportunities in the
world today. For the first time in human history, everybody can
freely share their ideas with a global audience. I seek to help as
many people publish their writing online as possible. Follow me
