TV Comedy Writing Workshop - Zoom Course

Service Description

"The course was fantastic. It felt like a series of friendly, enjoyable conversations, yet I came away with my own writing sharpened up, great advice on where I could improve, and practical guidance on treatments, pitching, story structure, and how commissioning works. I'm a better, more prepared writer than I was going in. So I'd highly recommend this course." A.B. Lucy and Chris are offering a bespoke writers' retreat on Zoom for groups of 4 writers who already understand the nuts-and-bolts of putting a sitcom or comedy drama TV comedy script together and are ready to take their writing to the next level. What you’ll get out of it: - a greater understanding of how the TV industry works and how shows get commissioned. - an understanding of the strengths and possible issues of the kinds of ideas you are developing. - a deep dive into your work with Chris to explore how to develop your writing. - a stronger understanding of how to get your work more widely seen and what to do next.
