This review is from: 2008 Songwriter's Market (Paperback)
I finally discovered my talent (we all have at least one buried inside): writer. Yeah, right! Me too at first I thought the same. Where do I start, what do I write? Well, just write and let it come to you. That's how it worked for me. I came up with a music concept album years ago (I was not even trying, it just came to me in front of a Starbucks), and for the past months my inspiration has exploded. Suddenly I felt that I could actually do something about my writing. But I did not know what I could do with the songs. A friend of mine pointed me in the direction of Writer's Digest Writers Market series. He was well inspired. Soon I discovered that every writing form and creative field has its own "market" reference book. I found this Songwriter's Market online and did not hesitate. I am glad I bought it. It is the best way to quickly enter the world of music business and songwriting. The book has many excellent articles, reference materials, and lists of publishers, producers, agents, and music labels, arranged by genre, geographic area and style of music. It's going to be a long journey, but an exciting one. It has transformed my life. I treasure this book as a source of possibilities. That's the word. Wherever you are in life, look for possibilities, not just opportunities. It will take you farther. Rock on!

2008 Songwriter's market,
By Festus K Mbuimwe (nairobi, kenya) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 2008 Songwriter's Market (Paperback)
Two virtues make me go 'gaga' over that book:-The tons of useful information that one needs in the music industry, especially for aspiring lyricists like me - That it's published annually. I rest my case.
