Readers can get their songs published, recorded and on the air with 2003 Songwriter's Market, the No.1 resource for making a mark - and making money - in the US music industry. Whether their songwriting focuses on classical, country, or rock'n'roll, all the leads they need are here under one cover, including listings for record companies, music publishers, managers, agents, record producers and more. Using easy-to-reference symbols and indexes, they'll quickly partner their song stylings with the industry insiders that matter. And only 2003 Songwriter's Market provides interviews and Insider Reports from some of music's most respected, talented and creative minds, such as Harriet Schock, songwriter, recording artist; Susan Gibson, songwriter for the Dixie Chicks; Nina Storey, opening act for Earth, Wind and Fire; and Brian Perera, CEO and President of Cleopatra Records. Plus, they'll find special sections on choosing a songwriting association, understanding copyright law, new music trends, and much more.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Toolbox without a Screwdriver???? July 28 2003
By Gary Tittle
Format:Paperback
If you are a songwriter and you do not have this book on your shelf - it is like a toolbox without a screwdriver. You just have to get this book -

It tells you everything you need to know to get better results as you work toward your personal success. Most important: It has the latest names, addresses, phone numbers - What people want and sometimes WHAT THEY DON'T WANT!

As always, every edition includes new articles on the Song Market and I usually turn there FIRST when I buy each new edition.

Don't go on without this book - you will be glad you bought it!

3.0 out of 5 stars A big diretory Aug 15 2002
By "miami302"
Format:Paperback
This book is more than 70% a list of publishers, managers, agents etc. The list is good if that is what you are looking for. It tells if they accept unsolicted material, formats, etc.

The "how to" aspect of the book is weak. Not a lot of material or personal stories from songwriters or publishers.

If you are looking for a adresses of where to send songs, then this is the book for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Industry Naviagation Tool for Songwriters/Composers Dec 27 2001
By D.Lesley
Format:Paperback
This book is a great tool. In the "Articles about the Business of Songwriting" section - this book gives detailed perspectives from industry professionals on how/where/why to market your songs as a Songwriter/Composer.

In the "Markets" section - it details the people/entities that are usually interested in hearing new material: Producers, Record Companies, Publishers, etc.

The "Resources" section has contact information for a number of organizations, companies, and conferences all focussed on the songwriter.

This is a must for songwriters new to the music business... trust me - I KNOW.
