This Business of Songwriting
Writing great songs is not enough. To make money, songwriters need a firm, realistic grasp of how songs generate income. This is the first book to demystify the process of doing business as a songwriter. Author Jason Blume, an industry veteran with 20 years on both sides of the desk, starts by defining terms; then walks readers through the process of starting and operating a publishing company; teaches how to pitch songs to publishers, artists, managers, A&R reps and producers; offers a detailed explanation of how the singles/album charts work; and provides valuable how-to information about making money as a songwriter. This outstanding one-volume resource teaches the skills and knowledge every songwriter needs to succeed.
