Everyone has a song in them—because everyone has a story to tell. You don't need to play an instrument to get started. You don't need formal training to write a great song. All it takes is an idea—and the right guidance to help bring it to life.
"The Songwriter's Notebook" is the definitive resource for anyone who wants to turn their thoughts into meaningful, memorable lyrics. Whether you're dreaming of filling stadiums, writing songs in your bedroom, or just looking for a new way to express yourself, this book is all about getting your words down on the page.
In this fun and motivating workbook you will:
• Discover the building blocks of great songs, from structure to lyrical language, to lyric concepts that captivate.
• Tap into your senses, experiences, and emotions to craft noteworthy lyrics—just like your favorite artists.
• Practice with imaginative prompts that explore your personal writing style.
• Develop a creative process for yourself, so putting pen to paper becomes so intuitive you'll be filling notebooks in no time.
• And more!
Courtney Fortune is an award-winning singer-songwriter, touring artist, songwriting coach, and professional music mentor. She works with artists of all kinds through her songwriting workshops and mentorship programs, and her passion for music and advocacy inspires everything she does.
