Editor’s Notes
Welcome to the January 2010 issue of Songwriter’s Monthly. We have twoimportant items to cover this month:
#1 Writer’s Wanted!
I’ve been thinking about the phrase “written by songwriters for songwriters.” A lot! So what I’m asking is for songwriters, artists, producers, managers,publicists, lawyers, etc. to start sending in your brief anecdotes (200-300-ishwords) from
REAL
first-hand experiences. It can be about anything fromhow you got that tattoo of your first band — you know, the one you thoughtwas going to be together forever — to what you look for in a co-writer. Justabout anything goes. Since Songwriter’s Monthly is a labor of love, as a “thank you” for yourinvolvement, we’ll post a link or ablurb at the end of your piece.Sound good? Great, then send those first-person accounts toa1foster@aol.comand lets all cringe, learn and laugh from each other’sexperiences.
#2 Help Spread The Word!
Believe it or not, I’m kind of a quiet guy. I get all awkward when it comesto promoting something I’ve personally worked on. So, I’m wondering if anyone out there would like to help promote Songwriter’s Monthly. In fact,we’re officially holding a contest this month, whoever can show the loveand round up the most readers by midnight of Feb. 14, 2010 will win anifty black t-shirt (we only have adult medium, large and extra largeavailable) that proudly declares . . . Nah, I think you’ll have to win one tofind out what it says.

Love this! Songwriters are my favorite music people. The old adage is totally true -- musicians who write their own stuff last longest (e.g. Dolly Parton).

SongwritersMonthly replied:

We love music here, too! We try really hard to bring you closer to the people who create it. Hope you enjoy.

I'm in love with your Digital Magazine! I'm thinking of making my own!

SongwritersMonthly replied:

Thanks! I started way back in '92 (it was a print magazine back then) with basically the same idea . . . it's a lot of work, but it's very rewarding, if it's in your blood you gotta at least try it : )
