Telemazing Courses

I’ve done some querying based on advice I’ve gotten from a variety of pros but it never felt quite right nor did it get me very far. The strategies Joe teaches in this course are more grounded in how to hone my craft and build my career over time in a way that makes sense for the longhaul, not just the sprint. Even if you’re saturated with resources like I am, I promise you’ll learn something new in this class.

"Joe's GamePlan course is a must for all emerging writers who are unsure whether they are taking the necessary steps to best help position themselves for long term growth and success in this unpredictable industry. Joe debunks MANY myths and he is very generous with his time to answer any questions students may have, no matter how minute they may be. Joe clearly cares deeply about the long term well-being of his students. That passion and care show in his teachings."

"Joe was an engaging instructor; he combined the information on the slides with anecdotes from his own experience in the industry. He is passionate about the material & you could see it in every class. I left the class feeling like I had all the information I needed to develop a gameplan of my own, something personally felt I have been lacking for quite sometime now. Joe provided me with all the tools I needed, and I highly recommend the GamePlan class to anyone!

P.S. Even the homework was fun! But I’m a nerd, so, take that with a grain of salt."

"I'd worked in production coordination prior to landing my first WPA gig, but setting up an office without a team was still intimidating. Joe's course served as both a checklist and a gut check, providing actionable, step-by-step tasks I could follow to ensure I had everything we needed. I'm only three weeks in, but the boost of confidence the WPA Deep Dive course provided has already proved invaluable."

"I cannot recommend this class enough. Joe is an engaging teacher, who is passionate about his craft. The lectures and assignments are designed to help emerging writers analyze beats, character engines, and themes. With each class, I feel more confident in the material and how to apply it to my own work. You simply cannot beat this course!"

"Joe’s teaching comes from experience. He shares his knowledge and passion in a fast-moving course that analyses TV pilots to build an understanding of how to write one. A great course for those who learn by doing. Apart from being a great guy, Joe’s passion and enthusiasm are infectious."

"Joseph Mwamba's course is a necessary learning experience for all current students & emerging writers... His real world experience can help you navigate opportunities such as finding management, relationship building within the industry, & how to apply his step-by-step process to attain an entry level job in the writer's room... Truly, if you are an emerging writer, I would consider this class a mandatory part of your learning experience."

"I highly recommend taking a course with Joe. Joe shared his unique and well-informed perspective on the business of television writing in a warm and welcoming way. I have a whole degree in screenwriting, and Joe taught me things I didn’t know about both the craft and the industry. I left Joe’s class with the motivation and tools to take the next step in my career. Thanks Joe!"

"Being 95% self-taught, I came to this session hoping to learn about my script's weaknesses and how to improve myself as a writer. By booking a script consultation, [Joe] provided me a class and critique all in one. I came away with a new way of looking at pilot story structure, as well as honest feedback that is actionable and informative... I'm excited and full of ideas as I tackle a new outline and draft. Thank you so much!"

"Joe's script consultation services are phenomenal. His thoughtful and thorough notes helped me see my script in a new light.

Telemazing will take your script to the next level!"

"I couldn't have been more lucky, in not only meeting Joe, but also having the chance to take this Build-A-Writer class with him.
