Publisher's Summary
Writing situation comedies isn’t really that hard. So much of what you need to know is already defined for you. You know that your script needs to be a certain short length, with a certain small number of characters. You know that your choice of scenes is limited to your show’s standing sets and maybe one or two swing sets or outside locations. You know how your characters behave and how they’re funny, either because you invented them or because you’re writing for a show where these things are already well established. Sitcom is easy and sitcom is fun. Sitcom is the gateway drug to longer forms of writing. It’s a pretty good buzz and a pretty good ride, a great way to kill an afternoon, or even six months.
And now, thanks to comedy writing guru John Vorhaus, writing situation comedy is easier than ever. In The Little Book of Sitcom, you’ll find a whole trove of tools, tricks, and problem-solving techniques that you can use - now, today - to be the sitcom writer of your wildest dreams. Ready to write? Ready to have fun? The Little Book of Sitcom is the big little book for you.

"Absolutely Incredible!"
If you could sum up The Little Book of Sitcom in three words, what would they be?FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC!
What did you like best about this story?I've wanted to write for TV and Film for a long time. Comedy has always seemed the hardest. Within 20 minutes of listening my motivation was spiked and I felt I had a stronger insight in how to become a paid writer for not only comedy, but drama as well. Finished the book the same night I got it!
Which character – as performed by John Vorhaus – was your favorite?Kevin - The made up "darling" we all have was important, because as they always say, "We love our darlings, but you have to kill your darlings".
What insight do you think you’ll apply from The Little Book of Sitcom?The entire thing. I especially liked his guides to focusing on three types of conflict. That was extremely eye opening.
Any additional comments?Anyone looking to write for TV or film, this is a must read. This made me want to sit down and write again.
