Our ScriptMag.com family of contributors have been pushing hard this week to bring you new content to help your career, including short film screenplay contests, breaking into television, career choices and more! Check out our full list of contributors and follow them on Twitter too.

I'm a feedback junkie. Seriously. I'm slightly addicted to getting feedback on my work to help elevate it to higher levels. If you need notes or help with one sheets and more, check out The ScriptXperts at The Writers Store. They'll help get your script to a level you only imagined it could be. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Besides, it's a great way to learn how to take notes from executives!

Now get reading and get writing!

Writing the Comedy Feature Film
Jump start your comedy screenplay! A spec comedy screenplay is a great calling card for any screenwriter, and in this course we’ll tee you up to create a successful one. Writers will learn the tools professional comedy writers use to create funny screenplays, and how to use those tools to get started on your own script. You’ll start by creating and discussing funny loglines, and learn the criteria for determining which premise should advance to the outline stage. Then you’ll create a detailed outline with one-on-one instructor feedback. Once each student has a winning story plotted out for a comedy screenplay, we’ll workshop the funniest ways to execute that idea as a feature-length script. Finally, each student will begin writing a comedy screenplay, which can be completed after the class.
