Time is short. Ridiculously short. As songwriters, there are a million things that try to take us away from our precious time doing what we love doing - the beautiful craft of songwriting. The Organized Songwriter - How to Create Space to Write Your Best Songs offers fresh insights to help you be more productive. Just like a pro.Whether we realize it or not, many songwriters have this problem: Not enough time and space. Do any of these scenarios sound familiar?- You try to sit down to write a cool song but there are a million other things happening around you - family, friends, the dog, and a million other important things that need doing. Somehow you never seem to have the chance to do your best work as a songwriter.- You are an incredibly creative person, awash in a sea of paperwork filled with great songs. But you're drowning. And when you need your best ideas, they are lost.- You want to be a prolific songwriter but, just when you get the inspiration to write, there's not enough time to finish anything.- You have plenty of ideas, but you're lost when it comes to picking the right tools to write like a pro.- You have lots of material to take into a co-write, but when you look for a specific idea or lyric in your hook book you just can't find it. The opportunity to write your best ideas is lost.- You worry that life is moving way too fast for you to make an impact as a songwriter. If any of these describe you, you're in good company! Virtually every songwriter I've ever worked with has struggled with at least one of these issues, and every successful songwriter has overcome these obstacles. If you're looking to step up your songwriting by beating these problems, there is one thing you'll need to do: get organized! In _The Organized Songwriter - How to Create Space to Write Your Best Songs_, I give you a series of solutions to these issues and more. This book is filled with well-developed professional processes to keep track of your precious ideas that develop into completed songs. I also provide options for organizing professional tools of the trade as a songwriter as well as ways to prepare yourself to be the best co-writer you can be. Plus I will reveal a second secret weapon for songwriters, and more. I enjoyed building a foundation of knowledge about the craft from songwriting programs at Berklee College of Music and other sources, but I actually discovered the material for this book afterwards, from my experience as a professional songwriter, writing both on my own and in the writing rooms of Nashville. I actually became a songwriter after several years of working the corporate world, and I learned firsthand that there are many tricks to organizing yourself as a songwriter that are not just helpful, but essential to get signed. I've compiled those tricks into this book so other songwriters can get a jump-start on what I only learned after years of struggle and guesswork.Whether you've only just discovered the craft of songwriting or you're an experienced songwriter, this book contains insights into how you can become a more productive songwriter. By the end of the book, you'll be able to write like a pro, even if you don't call yourself a pro.Your craft as a songwriter deserves to be taken to the next level. Let this book help you transform your songwriting by applying the methods here as part of your workflow to take your songs to their ultimate potential. Learn the benefits of being organized and how to manage your songwriting workflow like a pro. Discover these techniques and help grow as a songwriter so you can pursue your ultimate calling.

Welcome to The Organized Songwriter Journal! This is an accompaniment to the main book, The Organized Songwriter - How to Create Space to Write Your Best Songs, and the Workbook.This book is a jotter. A place where you can be creative. Crazy creative. It's a way of holding all of your songwriting details, your ideas, tools, co-writer details and all of your long-term and short-term goals. The point of this is to show the power of having all of this in one place. In the main book, I talk a lot about data for songwriters and the way I found various ways I've kept this data, mostly in spreadsheets, databases (FileMaker Pro, Notion). But some people prefer paper. And that's fine. That's what this is: an analogue version of these things. Just because we use paper doesn't stop us getting organized!

Whether you're just starting out as a songwriter, you're an experienced songwriter or just looking for a new perspective on the beautiful craft of songwriting, Song Maps - A New System to Write Your Best Lyrics offers fresh insights to help you write your very best lyrics. Does any of the following sound familiar? You worry that the lyrics you write just don't deliver their full potential but can't figure out why, even though technically they tick all the right boxes. You have great ideas but your finished lyrics somehow fall short of the emotional impact you wanted and, as a result, your songs get passed over. You have a busy schedule with limited time to write and have wasted too many hours chasing un-writable lyric ideas. You wonder how some professional songwriters always seem to get a particular dynamic in their lyrics, consistently writing songs better than 90% of what you hear on the radio. You are perhaps nervous about going into a pro co-writing session because you fear your ideas aren't worth bringing into the writing room. You know you have so many great titles waiting to be written but haven't found a way of systematically developing them into well-crafted lyrics. After writing an amazing hooky Chorus and a great supporting first Verse, you hit the dreaded wall that is "second verse curse". In Song Maps - A New System to Write Your Best Lyrics, I deliver simple, logical, well-defined solutions to these issues and more: I give you seven well-developed professional templates for you to bring your lyrics to life. I also provide you with a tried and tested process for writing lyrics using Song Maps. And I'll reveal the songwriter's secret weapon. Much of this book contains new material. This is because, while I enjoyed building a firm foundation of knowledge about the craft from the songwriting programs at Berklee Music School and other sources, I discovered Song Maps afterwards, from my experience as a professional songwriter, writing either on my own or in the writing rooms of Nashville. Having been signed as a staff songwriter at Universal Music Publishing in Nashville, being nominated and winning awards for my songs including Grammys, Doves and hymn-writing awards, and after spending many years studying thousands of techniques and developing them in my own songwriting and in the writing room, I've had the privilege of teaching the material in this book to hundreds of songwriters and seeing a step change in their writing. I have been blessed to watch them find their authentic voice in writing ideas to their full potential, helping them achieve their dream to move from writing flat 2D lyrics to fabulous High Definition full-color 3D lyrics. As you assimilate Song Maps into your writing workflow, your songwriting will shift away from tentative, self-conscious, inhibited writing to strong, bold, intentional and vulnerable writing that does full justice to your original ideas, ultimately allowing you to make the impact you deserve as a songwriter. If you implement the simple, easy-to-understand concepts in this book, I promise you your songs will be better crafted than 90% of the songs you hear on the radio. It will also transform your effectiveness as a co-writer. Importantly, no matter where your songs end up, you will be confident you have written a brilliant lyric and you have served your co-writers well. Let this book help you transform your lyric writing by using Song Maps in your songwriting workflow and take your song ideas to their ultimate potential by writing your best, truly golden, spectacular songs.
