For over ten years, I’ve had the extreme pleasure of being staffed on several half-hour network sitcoms, rising in the ranks from Staff Writer to Co-Executive producer. My writing partner and I are now developing our own material.

I have recently completed a half hour TV comedy. It is my first attempt at writing based on my experiences as a young adult. I am not a writer but feel the concept has merit. I am looking for a writer to partner with. What would my next step be?

I heard a TV show I was to hop on isn't going to hire a Writer's PA. Is this common? How will that writer's room function? Who will get lunch? I can't see a Writer's Assistant doing the grunt work and writing filler dialogue.

I wrote two sitcom spec scripts. People say they are funny and smart. I can't, however, show them to anyone from the industry - they all say they don't read unsolicited material. What I am supposed to do?
