Songwriter's Guide to Collaboration (Songwriter's Market Business Series)

Describes the relationship between songwriters and music publishers, tells how to become an established songwriter, and offers advice on marketing

Drawing from his nearly thirty years of experience as a professional songwriter, Koller reveals the tools to getting songs recorded. By detailing a hit song's journey from the writer's imagination to music store shelves, Koller helps readers understand the business perspective of songwriters, publishers, producers, agents, and others. Songwriters can use this insight to negotiate with music publishers, target specific producers through the use of "trademark" styles, work within the latest marketing trends, and much more.
