If it isn't already on your blogroll, check out Ken's blog, By Ken Levine, which is "The world as seen by a TV comedy writer". He's been holding a punchline contest, which if you'll read the submissions so far, just goes to show how hard it is to write good comedy.
Did I mention that the teleseminar is FREE? Ken writes:
"I’ve been looking for a way to meet my readers – not easy to do since you’re spread out around the world. But I found a way to at least connect by phone. Next Tuesday, October 2nd from 4-5 P.D.T. I’m going to hold a teleseminar. It’s absolutely free, will accommodate the first 150 people, and did I mention it’s free? I’ll be answering your questions about writing – the kind of stuff I’ll be doing in print today, talking about specs, getting agents, tips, whatever you want."
I'm already signed up. He has room for 150 people to participate in the call and you can email your questions to him directly. So if you want to write comedy, write for sitcoms, or just make your writing funnier, I suggest you sign up here. The teleseminar is already half full, so sign up soon if you're interested.
