It all starts with a consultation
Molly’s fee for her time and expertise in helping you depends on the number of songs you want her to hear, review, and work on together. Her rates appear below. Click on a quantity and you’ll go to PayPal to take care of your transaction. If you prefer Venmo, then contact Molly and she’ll share her Venmo info with you.
Molly does not accept material written or co-written with AI.
Once you have paid for your consultation, please send each of your songs in a separate email. Attach your mp3’s, but not your lyrics. Put the lyrics in the body of each email. Send them all, along with your phone number and email address, on the same day, for the same consultation.
For lyrics only, type each of your songs in the body of a separate email. Ten songs, ten emails. Please don’t attach the words. For some reason, known only to the tech fairy, attached documents don’t open. I’d rather we spend our time on your songs, not software. Deal? Be sure to include your name, phone number, and email address.
In order for the package price to apply, I need you to pay for your consultation and email all your songs/lyrics/questions on the same day. Otherwise, I will have to charge you an additional $150.00 per song. Thank you.
Each version of each song is a separate song. When submitting revisions of songs previously sent for consultation, I will give you a special price.
After listening to your songs, and reading carefully through your lyrics several times, I get a real sense of who you are, and what you can contribute to the literature of music that nobody else can, since nobody else is you.
Most folks claiming to do song and lyric evaluations send a quickie checklist – if that. But not me!
After you pay my professional fee and submit your songs and lyrics, I will thoughtfully and carefully review each piece of your work in terms of how and where it fits in current industry projects.
Much of the material submitted to me for consultation is just right for the marketplace as is. Sometimes, there may be a song or two in your consulting package that needs a little tweaking before it can realistically compete with the best songs out there. For example, if you send ten songs for consultation and nine of them are awesome, but the tenth isn’t quite there yet, I will go through it carefully, making very specific suggestions.
I will give you honest but gentle, supportive feedback, and help you make your work as strong as it needs to be in order to realistically compete in the marketplace.
You always remain the sole writer and 100% copyright owner of the songs, tracks, and masters you submit to me for consultation.
I will look for your heart, your guts, your fingerprint. My colleagues on the other side of the desk, who’ve been placing my clients’ songs in movies, TV Shows, video games, and in commercials, for years and years, look for that, too.
Assuming what you’ve created is a good fit for current Industry projects, I’m happy to hook you up with everyone I know looking for great songs in your genre. That is included in my consulting fee.
I also love to co-write songs, especially with undiscovered, new writers, who have original, amazing ideas and have made a good start on the songs they send me for consultation.
Once we agree to co-write, and the paperwork is in order, I will add my expertise and my magic, dig deep for the best of the best of me, and turn your good beginning into a great song!
Some of my clients send me lyrics that need music. Some send me music that needs lyrics. Others send me finished songs that are maybe 80% there – and when I add the Molly to them, look out – they are potential hits!

Praise for Molly’s song & lyric consultations

Molly-Ann gave me permission to try whatever I was feeling as an amateur songwriter. Then she polished it beautifully. She gave me the courage I needed and the belief I could do it. I am forever grateful. She is a master at her art. Thank you Molly-Ann.”

“I am a huge fan of Molly Leikin, as a writer AND as an inspirational human being. Anyone who gets a chance to work under her tutelage is fortunate!”
AMANDA McBROOM

Grammy Winner "The Rose" -
“I met with Molly each week for a songwriting consultation session. Later, I founded a non-profit called Purple Songs Can Fly, and created the first recording studio in a pediatric cancer center. I worked with the kids there to write and record their own songs. In 2010, I received an honorary doctorate for my work with the children, and I have no doubt that my time with Molly was an important influence on not only my own songwriting, but greatly informed the way I’ve helped the children to create their own songs over the years.”

“Thanks, Molly for your extraordinary insight and gentle manner. As I drove home last night (listening to the pop/country station as you suggested) I heard every pointer that you gave me played out in those songs. You so totally nailed that genre of music. The changing rhythm, the for-thought melody, the story that can be heard and understood in a single listening.”

“You gave me great advice. From that experience I would recommend you to anyone looking for help. I also remember you telling me, Molly-Ann Leikin, rhymes with bacon. Thanks.”
