I get at least ten telephone calls a day, plus an equal amount of e-mail, from writer/artists who have problems with collaborators. I'd like to give you my take on how to handle this in the most constructive, professional way.

To write stronger, memorable, singalongable tunes, here’s the process I use. It has worked for 92% of my clients. The 8% who didn’t have success, just plain didn’t do it.

I've written poems and I've written lyrics. I've learned if you can do one, you can usually do the other. As a poet, I've enjoyed the pure creative process, and the occasional publication of my work.

This is the only songwriting book for advanced songwriters of pop songs, gospel songs, rock songs, New Country songs, R & B songs, contemporary Christian songs, dance songs and alternative songs.

“How to Write a Hit Song” will show you exactly how the hit songwriters work, and how you can carve an unstoppable path for yourself in the music business.

Songwriters often forget that in addition to being artists, they are in the business of music. And as in any business, the successful people in it have a business plan.

Most rock, hip hop and rap singers record their own songs, but the market in country music has many more openings for original tunes and lyrics.

No matter where we find our music, or where it finds us, a melody is still a series of single notes.

I'm proud of you even though I haven't heard your voice or read a stop-this-limo line in one of your lyrics...
