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.
