Author Manny Basanese breaks down the comedy pilot writing process from what may be perceived as an overwhelming, time-consuming mission into a series of much more manageable, smaller steps (from logline to outline to 1st, 2nd and polished draft). Incorporating both the history of TV comedy as well as its current evolving state in this age of the dramedy and an ever-increasing variety of broadcast and streaming platforms, the book will serve as a guide for the fledgling sitcom scribe. Practical and accessible, the book presents a step-by-step guide focusing on the key elements of the process. Have a great day!" - LaChris J.Navigating through the challenging process of writing a comedy pilot, this book will help screenwriters to create an original script for television. I'm up at 6am writing and then when I see the lesson, I'm ready to go! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I also like the fact that the lessons arrive in my inbox at around the same time every morning. I'm so excited about the possibilities of this story that I don't know what to do with myself (the series is set during the Great Depression). This was the best investment I've ever made as a writer! I'm on Day 17 and have learned so much more about my pilot (I scrapped the old one altogether!) I've written the teaser and am in Act One still, but the daily lessons keep me focused and encourages me to go deeper with my characters and their journeys. "I just wanted to say THANK YOU for creating the "TV Drama Pilot in 45 Days" course. Although I didn't write every single day like I should have, it helped me move closer to a finished script! Thanks to this course I have completed my first script!" - Charlie L. The screenplay in 60 days course helped push me and my script idea forward. "I signed up for this course, because I've always wanted to write a feature script. I have been messing with this script idea for about two years, then I complete something MUCH DIFFERENT in 45 days. “ Okay, so I’ve done McKee’s bootcamp, done top screenwriting graduate school work, ScreenwritingU… Won a couple of big screenwriting contests, but for whatever reason, your 45-day online class has worked magic. Was I just ready for the message? Is it just a manageable format to undertake? Some of both? I don’t know, but I am one happy camper. I will highly recommend this course and WriterDuet.“ – Summer G.K. I now know exactly how to start, how to keep going and how to re-draft! It’s exciting stuff! Thanks again for the opportunity. Previously I’ve struggled to keep myself motivated when writing features – I ended up with beginnings of scripts or great concepts but no real place to start. “ Hey ScreenCraft, I did it! I completed the ‘Screenplay in 60 days’ online course and completed it in time ….technically I did it in 59 days as I doubled up one day! Thanks to the course and WriterDuet I have a completed draft. “ScreenCraft catapulted my career years ahead of even my most optimistic expectations… has helped me land top-tier representation and put me in a position to pitch projects to major studios.” – Robert Haffey (screenwriter) Hart (award-winning screenwriter of HOOK, directed by Steven Spielberg, DRACULA, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, and CONTACT, directed by Robert Zemeckis). “ScreenCraft is an amazing organization.” – James V. “I completed my pilot well under the 45 days and (between you and me) this plotting method helped me to produce a brilliant story with real character conflict.” – Rachel Attwood
