The world of professional songwriting is incredibly competitive, but it is also chock full of resources and support for beginners.

Songwriter's Market is the entryway to this world of songwriting. Everything you need to find your way through the maze and make those crucial contacts is here—music publishers, record companies, managers and booking agents, record producers, and more. This includes resource listings-organizations, song contests, and online resources—where songwriters can network, find support, and develop their songwriting craft to a professional level.

For 30 years, Songwriter's Market has provided the must-have information you need to get your songs heard and signed. You'll find the contacts, what they're looking for, and how much they pay. From rock and hip-hop to classical and country, the Songwriter's Market is the only reliable reference that beginners and professionals depend on to help start and build a successful songwriting career.

The 2007 edition of Songwriter's Market includes:

• A new interview with Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys.
• Informative articles by respected authors John Braheny (Craft & Business of Music) and Randy Poe (The New Songwriter's Guide to Music Publishing).
• Up-to-date contact information for over 700 songwriting markets including record companies, music publishers, managers, record producers, and more.

The resources and support available to songwriters in today's music industry is a quantum leap beyond what anyone could have imagined ten years ago, and Songwriter's Market gives you the key to open those doors and enter.
