Paul has over ten years experience in writing and is now sharing his secrets gained from his time as a commissioned sitcom writer. His methods are fun, engaging, often challenging and written with passion and expertise.

â€œWhat Paul did for my writing and comedy characters has been amazing. His industry experience has given me a step by step recipe for creating amazing comedic characters. After taking his course and using his development services I was able to take my ideas, which existed as notes on paper, and turn them into a script and then a filmed pilot sketch show. Absolutely no chance this could have been done without Paulâ€™s one to one mentoring and advice.â€
