More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This updated edition looks at all the latest markets for comedy writers, with new material on writing 'The Office' style docu-comedies, writing for children's TV, and even how to try out your own jokes in stand-up comedy routines. Comedy has blossomed into one of the most high profile and glamorous areas of the entertainment industry but it is often perceived as one of the hardest writing jobs. In the third edition of this highly regarded handbook, John Byrne breaks down the basics of writing comedy into simple steps and shows how to make the most of your writing talent and your ability to market that talent.

John Byrne is an author, cartoonist and stand- up comedian with wide-ranging experience in both performance and teaching of creative skills.

Format:Paperback
I am on a writing course and found this book invaluable- it's really practical, but not written in a dry, academic tone. It's very funny and realistic about the business and is written by somebody who has worked extensively in the industry, so they know what it's really like.
I liked the way the book was broken down- giving a stage by stage guide to the process of script-writing. Particularly useful is the sample script section
Would recommend for writers who want to write for soaps, but also a present for people who love soaps.
