Perfect Your Packets: Build Your Professional Writing Portfolio (4 weeks)

Instructor Janie Stolar

Looking to break into the wild world of writing for late night or variety shows and don’t know where to start? (Or just looking to build the type of portfolio that would get you there?)

Then this class, built for all experience levels, is for you!

In this class, we’ll tackle the biggest categories that make up a typical packet that will get you hired: sketch, topical jokes, desk bits, and satire. Not only will you leave with an array of samples you’ll feel confident about, but the entire process of getting hired, and getting paid to write, will be fully demystified for you.

This class meets online and does not have a class show.

Janie Stolar is a remarkably humble comedy writer whose TV credits include “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,” “Bravo’s Chat Room” and “Billy on the Street.”

On the Internet side, Janie wrote, directed and performed in sketches that amassed millions of views as a staff writer for CollegeHumor. She has also contributed to Reductress and The Onion’s celebrity gossip parody site.

As a live comedy writer/performer, Janie got her start on Wesleyan University’s sketch team before joining house improv and sketch teams at Upright Citizens Brigade and Magnet Theater in New York. In LA, Janie hosted Reductress’s live stand up show and her own pop culture variety show, “Obsessed,” which first ran at The Ruby.
