Introduction:
ATTENTION SONGWRITERS
Do you write songs, or poetry that would make great song lyrics? Would
you like to become part of the music industry? If you would, then please
take a moment to read the following information. It could be the most important
moment of your life.
My name is Frank Matthews, and I am a songwriter. I have had a number of
songs published by reputable publishers, and have had songs produced on
both cassette albums and CD's. I have received royalty payments for my
songs, and I assure you that if you have the talent, and perseverance YOU
CAN too.
First let me tell you what I cannot do. I cannot guarantee your success
as a songwriter. I am not the CEO of any major record label. Anyone that
tells you that they CAN guarantee your success and, is not the CEO of a
major record label should be closely scrutinized (is full of #$%^). What
I CAN offer you is knowledge gained by fifteen years experience as a songwriter.
While you may at first think that this information might not be worth the
cost, this you can believe; over the past fifteen years I have learned
many expensive lessons. I have contacted several hundred publishers listed
in trade magazines and books and have read extensively on the industry.
I have also completed a course on the music industry at a major university.
My contacts include many other writers and performers as well as publishers,
record company executives, and songwriter organizations. In fact I have
considered starting my own songwriters' organization, but have chosen instead
to offer my services to you on a one-to-one basis.
My songwriters guide includes the basics necessary to succeed as a songwriter.
With this knowledge and a little luck you too can become a successful songwriter.
