Your Song Online — For All Time: Pro-Songwriting
Edition 1 (May 2022)
This book is 100% completeLast updated on 2022-05-04
For an independent songwriter the commercial music industry has three stages:
1. The creative stage — the song!
2. The business stage — contracts, registrations...
3. The marketing and promotion stage — successfully getting songs into the world, noticed, and an income coming in.
This book examines the foundational core elements of these three stages.

About the Book
This book has been written with the intention (and hope) of being useful to any and all, on, or embarking upon, the songwriting path. It briefly attempts to make sense of the professional music business today, in 2022, in particular how to make a living as an independent ‘professional’ singer-songwriter and recording-artist.
It’s not so much a book about the creative process, it’s more about what happens after that, about independently and successfully getting your songs out into the world.
Neither is it written as, or intended to be, a definitive step-by-step how-to book, or a dip-in at any page, quick reference guide.
It is more a read from cover-to-cover, then digest, and come back to it from time-to-time to refresh, type book. It’s meant as food for thought. It’s more about the essence, about some key ingredients, their flavours, and possibilities, than about exact recipes. Take what’s useful for you from it. Don’t treat it as gospel. There’s more than one way to skin-a-cat, and I’d rather you followed your own star, than my ideas, advice, or experience. Yet, I genuinely hope what is contained within these pages is of use to you on your songwriting journey.
My books are available here on Leanpub, as well as on Apple Books and Amazon (search by book title and/or author).
