How to exponentially improve the chances of success when it comes to your sitcom career.
Part-Seminar, Part-Intervention.
No BS, no quick fixes and no pretending it’s easy.
But plenty of straightforward actionable advice from someone who’s been out there doing it for 25 years – and it turns out it doesn’t get any easier…
You know what? I’ve felt pretty low at times in my career...
It feels amazing when you’ve got your own show on TV or Radio. And I’ve had that.
But no matter how many times you have that, it ends.
And that great feeling goes away.
Doubts creep in. Suddenly you’re not sure why you're not busy. You get resentful and wonder what to do next.
Let me tell you what I did in this webinar.
So if it feels like you’ve been dealt a losing hand, maybe it’s time to change the game. After all, if life gives you lemons, figure out how to turn those lemons into grenades and THROW THEM AT YOUR ENEMIES! Or make lemonade. Whatever.
I had to go back to first principles and start again – and ask the question – how do I make a living as a sitcom writer in 2023?
So in the webinar, I share more about that, and answer questions like:
How can I improve my chances of success in 2023?
What does success even look like?
How do I pitch ideas in 2023 (rather than wishing it was 2004 again)?
Do I need to write a script?
How do I even get in the room?
How do I get a producer to take a chance on me?
Isn’t it just too competitive now? Am I wasting my time?
How do I reframe this whole thing so that it doesn’t drive me nuts?
Interested in answers to questions like that? Watch my Pay-What-You-Like Webinar so that you can go into 2023 with a plan for it to go better than 2022.
