Welcome to Weekend Writers’ Room.

This post is 100% for you to pitch comedy ideas and get feedback from your fellow writers, in the comments section.

Weekend Writers’ Room posts will drop the first and third Saturday of the month: Feb 7 and Feb 21 this month.

What to pitch in the comments:

  • Short lists of comedy piece headlines or stand-up jokes. Up to 10 items per list, max please. (shorter lists of 5-6 may get better responses.)

  • Sketch comedy or story premise ideas. (Recommendation: pitch 1-3 premise ideas total. A few sentences per pitch.)

  • Want to pitch something longer? Go for it! e.g. A partial draft, a full draft of something, with a request for a reader or a request to trade comments. Much longer pitches (> 300 words) should be a link to a shared Google Doc (with comments enabled).

  • The Writers’ Room is freewheeling. You can pitch anything. But! More concise pitches (and shorter lists) are more likely to get lots of good feedback.
