Customer Reviews

30+ years of great tips and explanations
Great book, I learned and laughed chapter by chapter. Each chapter is only a five minute read with terrific application. Get it !

Great book!
I have not finished reading this book yet, but from what I have read, I found this book to be very informative & enjoyable in its approach. Each chapter is short enough to make it easy to read, yet long enough to get its point across. Although I'm a member of a songwriter's group and have read other books on the subject & attended seminars, I've already learned new approaches to the craft of songwriting by studying this book. I believe that anyone, whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned writer, will find this book useful in your ambitions of being a hit songwriter.
