Epigram basics and examples from the Kindlepreneur

The best way to understand epigrams, possibly, is to understand what they aren't.

Dave Chesson's introduction to them emphasizes that they aren't proverbs, clichés, or aphorisms.

And they also aren't epigraphs, though an epigram can be used as epigraphs.

But as you see from the examples Chesson shares, epigrams are short, witty or funny, and poetic.

Head to the Kindlepreneur blog to see examples of standout epigrams in case you're curious about using them in your own work.
