Well, I would guess Robin would know what it takes to get a forward, but I guess even she probably has no control of her screener's feelings for a song on any given day. Cam

I got the book a few weeks back myself. Its great. For those of you that can't stand the 'commitment' of a book - I can assure you you've nothing to be afriad of here ....... No long laborious chapters that take 3 pages to make their point will be found here......The best trait of this publication is that you can skip & jump around to your hearts delight! Even reading one page a night will provide you with helpful, useful and insightful information. Really Chris

Ok. A while ago after reading this thread my interested started to perk a bit about this book. I've been hemming an hawing for over a month and just this morning over a cup of coffee I ordered the book. I did think that the $28.99 seemed a little steep, but then again that's nothing in the shadow of a hit song! I'll wave to you guys in the camera when I'm accepting my grammy Andy

Ya, this book has to be one of the better books I read on songwriting. I need to finish it, but I have so many other things I have to read. Such is life.

Think this book's spendy? Try Katz On Music Licensing.

Jeez, I forgot all about this thread. I must've been on a caffeine-injected trip

when I opened it. It's still a great book, though!

I have been able to grab a lot of informative stuff from here. Feels great to see people sharing their thoughts with one another.

Anyone have an opinion on the new writing for TV one?

It's a must-have if you intend to write for that market; it's the only book of its kind so far as I'm aware. The chapter titles alone could save you years of heartache.

Both books are excellent. The first one is a great overview for newbies or oldies like me who needed a kick in the pants to get back in the game. The new one is a must if you want to write music for film/tv. There is so much useful info about the market, and the exercises are quite valuable. I have spent more time writing and recording in my studio since reading these two books and for that I am very grateful.
