Do you have a great idea for next season’s hit breakout comedy? Then this five-week Online TV Comedy Pilot Writing Workshop is for you. The instructor will (Community, Superstore) share secrets for developing a hit comedy show, finding the funny, developing characters that bring us back, season after season. Through lively craft lectures and Jack’s help on your script idea, you’ll have developed the formula for your series, defined your main characters, and your world.

By the end of this class, you’ll have created a beat sheet for your Live Action or Animated TV Pilot and everything you need to pitch it to boot. Emmy not included.

Note: If you’ve never taken a TV writing class before, we strongly recommend you take TV 101 or TV Comedy 101, and TV Structure for Pilot Writing in addition to this class.
