Donna T Cavanagh

Donna Cavanagh is founder of HumorOutcasts.com (HO) and the partner publishing company, HumorOutcasts Press which now includes the labels Shorehouse Books and Corner Office Books (HOPress-Shorehousebooks.com). Cavanagh launched HO as an outlet for writers to showcase their work in a world that offered few avenues for humor. HO now features the creative talents of more than 100 aspiring and accomplished writers, producers, comics and authors from all over the world. Known for its eclectic content, HumorOutcasts has something for everyone.

As a writer herself, Cavanagh is a former journalist who made an unscheduled stop into humor more than 20 years ago. Her syndicated columns helped her gain a national audience when her work landed in the pages of First Magazine, USA Today and other national media. She has taught the how-to lessons of humor, blogging and publishing at The Philadelphia Writers' Conference and the Erma Bombeck Writer's Workshop. A once-named Humor Writer of the Month by the Erma Bombeck Writers’ Workshop, Cavanagh has penned five humor books Reality: Fantasy’s Evil Twin, Try and Avoid the Speed Bumps, A Canine’s Guide to the Good Life (which she wrote with her dogs Frankie and Lulu), the USA Books Contest finalist Life on the Off Ramp and How to Write and Share Humor: Techniques to Tickle Funny Bones and Win Fans.

Ramo to the Rescue is Cavanagh's first children's book. While the story is fictional, the book is based on the real-life lifeguards of Long Beach Island, NJ.
