Hit Song Hit songwriter and songwriting consultant Molly-Ann Leikin offers a guide to both writing and marketing hopefully, your chart-topping lyrics and music. This 120 page booklet is Leikin's take on the process, structure and her love/hate relationship with pop songwriting. With chapter titles like: Song Structure-the Lyric; The Melody; Rhyming; The All-Important Title; Collaborating; Making Time to Write; Stimulating Creativity; Overcoming Writing Block; Publishing Your Songs; Making Money In the Meantime; Seasons; and Music on the Internet, this book outlines and covers all questions or problems any new songwriter my have when taking on the seemingly daunting task of composing a hit song. Each section has at least one "real-world" situation or anecdotal personal experience to explain the reasons (for example) why the song title is so crucial or that making time to write is as important as any music business meeting.

Even though I am not a songwriter, I found reading the book inspirational and a way to put a certain regiment back into my daily life. Great reading for anyone, How To Write A Hit Song is $10.95 and available at most music and bookstores or through www.musicdispatch.com or call 800-637-2852.
