Breaking Into Sitcom Writing

Learn from a veteran TV comedy writer how to write professional sitcom scripts and how to break into show business.

You'll pick up tricks of the trade and learn to avoid mistakes that mark you as an amateur. And you'll come to understand what happens to your script once you sell it, what happens in a sitcom writers' room, and what happens during the rewrite and punch-up process.
