With twenty years in the business--as a writer , programming executive, and university instructor--Evan Smith knows what it takes to get from spec script to sitcom success. Here he offers the first published description of Premise-Driven Comedy, the writing method he has developed and popularized; tips from writer-producers who have worked on series from Frasier to The Cosby Show to Roseanne; a complete story outline from the series Home Improvement; explicit advice on how the business works and how to get an agent; and script layout guidelines for all three sitcom formats. Clear, comprehensive, and cutting-edge, this is the true insider’s guide to becoming a sitcom writer. Who knows--it might just be the book that inspires the world’s next Seinfeld!

I'm continually grateful for your course [Storytelling: How To Write Stories That Will Grab And Hold Your Audience] and what I learned. I find that I'm more critical...wanting to change or re-write books and films I experience...an interesting exercise in itself.
