| Summary |
"Almost every writer, whether professional or beginner, has thought of a good sitcom idea at one time or another, but seeing that idea through can be a long and complicated process. In this book, successful sitcom writers John Byrne and Marcus Powell break that process down into a series of easy to follow steps. With chapters devoted to concept, characters and plot through to proposals, commissioning and production, Writing Sitcoms covers every aspect needed for success."--BOOK JACKET |
