Customer Reviews

Great source of info in one place.5
The greatest amount of info in one easy place. It is catagorically written for just the answeres you need.

Valuable book4
Excellent resource for any songwriter, performing or not. Contains useful advice on how to prepare demos, copyright, etc, plus a comprehensive list of agents, music publishers, record companies and other useful contacts.

2008 Songwriter's market5
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.
