“Only halfway through and I've already earned more than $80 worth of information... if you're interested in sitcoms, please take advice from this man. He made Scrubs!”

“Bill Lawrence’s insight into storytelling, character development, and crafting compelling narratives was truly invaluable. I appreciated how he broke down complex concepts - industry recommendations on representation, and candid truths about being a writer. It's the closest you'll get to having him as a mentor!”

Learn a new skill
“Some useful tips on structure, characterisation, etc. Good insight into how writers' rooms work and some tips/encouragement on how to network, pitch ideas, and build a portfolio.
My main criticism is that the course came from an LA perspective - inevitable given Bill Lawrence's experience and career. I would have prefered a maestro speaking from a UK TV comedy perspective.”

“I didn't find enough concrete advice. Also I found Bill Lawrence's constant, and I really mean constant, umming and ahhing incredibly irritating and distracting. He may be knowledgeable and successful but he isn't a good public speaker.”

“Bill is an engaging speaker who passes on his knowledge and enthusiasm of his subject. He has opened my eyes as to how such comedies are put together and the skill with which they are done so. Although I am not planning on writing comedy sketches the techniques are very applicable to what I do write. Many thanks Bill and Maestro for another wonderful course.”

“I completed a MFA program in screenwriting two years ago and am a member of the WGA. As a longtime fan of Bill Lawrence's shows I was excited to take this course. There aren't many programs available specifically about half-hour comedy.
The program here bears repeated viewing and while accessible to writers at all level the last quarter of the lessons are specifically to advance to a pro level. Wherever you are in your writing career Bill Lawrence's Writing Comedy program will inform, inspire, entertain, and encourage as you write that next spec.
Thank you for making this available and the care that went into its creation.
Stephen Hoover”
