If You've Got a Dream, I've Got a Plan

by Kelley Lovelace

Overview

You may be the next Hank Williams, Mozart, and Bob Dylan all rolled up into one. But if you don't get the right people to hear the songs you've written, then the best you can hope for is to be an undiscovered genius.

If You've Got a Dream, I've Got a Plan is written by one of Country Music's most successful songwriters. In this informative guide, aspiring songwriters will learn:

• What is a demo? And do I need a demo?
• What is a single song contract?
• How do royalty rates work?
• What is ASCAP? BMI?
• How much money can I make if my song hits number one on the charts?
• How do I get the right people to hear my songs?

It tells what to do, and maybe more importantly, what not to do.
