You are a songwriter, and you need to unlock those great songs inside of you

Yes, this book is designed entirely to share those secrets that will inspire you to write that great song that you know you can! And once the creativity really starts flowing, we'll create great habits and write even more, each and every day. Get down to writing the music and the lyrics you know that you can because writer's block is a fantasy. You just need inspiration.

The Magic of Lyrics & Music

This book discusses creativity with the lyrics, creativity with the music, and creativity with the forms of your songs, with a number of actionable suggestions and creative exercises to get the juices flowing. There's also a brief discussion about good habits for songwriters to be more productive (or eventually become a professional), and a list of resource organizations and websites from performing rights to promotion.

If you want to develop as a songwriter, possibly even with the goal of going pro, then these are topics you need to think about:

• The Songwriter's process
• Creativity with form
• Creativity with lyrics
• Creativity with music
• Professional?
• Rights, royalties, and piracy
• Pro songwriter habits
• And more...

Super short book, yet packed with great ideas

I loved all of the creative angles for song fodder. The blank page will never look intimidating again.

Very helpful, useful and clear.

Thank you Tommy. It’s a wonderful book to guide your fellow creators to a fulfilling outlet. -Charles Sye

Pretty motivating, short pep talk.

The book is quite well narrated for its genre. There was a bit too much self-promotion on the front and back for a less than one hour book, but that's the business for you. The material was actually quite motivating, and consisted of a few well supported bits of advice. I'd recommend it.

great advice and ideas

short and to the point. loved it, exactly the advice I was looking for.

A Great Little Guide

Whether an experienced song writer, a new one, or somewhere in between I'd recommend this book. It's short and easy and has an idea or two you may not have tried, or in my case several of them.

helpful for new thoughts

just keep writing...okay, now here are some wonderful ideas on expanding your songwriting time. I enjoyed it. i plan on revisting this book after a year or so.

Very helpful with a lot of pertinent information about songwriting!

Tommy Gordon has a lot of helpful and necessary information to share about the songwriting process and the business of songwriting. Thanks, this book has given me a fresh start and offered me much to work with and from in my writing process. The knowledge on the business end of songwriting is much appreciated as well. Five star book!

The book brushes shallowly through topics that should be discussed deeply.

The few ideas in the book are very useful; however, this book is what a trailer is to a big movie. The book brushes shallowly through topics that should be discussed deeply.

The book will definitely point you in the right direction, but if you’re looking to learn how to write a song, this book is not for you.
