Fantastic and insightful! This description may be from another edition of this product.
What I love most about this book (and my copy is really well-thumbed!) is that Susan organized it by question...so that instead of only hearing about one writer at a time, you get to hear how a dozen or more writers handle each aspect of their work. It's very freeing, as a songwriter myself, to hear so many different ways of working, so many different ways of finding ideas, handling slumps, getting songs heard. So many "teachers"...

This book gives a great insight into the creative minds of some of the best songwriters around! It's better than meeting them yourself, because the author also thought of all the right questions to ask AND you can read through the answers over-and-over again! An insider's view of creativity, inspiration, and effort!

"The Soul Of A Writer" is not only thought-provoking, it delivers inspiration in the face of adversity. To begin the journey, is to start with the soul, and that is exactly what these authors accomplished. There are no right or wrong answers, just the true and human insights from those who write the songs. How powerful is the human voice and how ever-present is the writer who gives life to it! Truly a world of revelations...

The format for this book is truly unique! Instead of focusing on one writer at a time, the issues of the creative process are the subject. Each contributor songwriter then provides their thoughts and experiences in that area. Great to read cover to cover or to pick up and thumb through for inspiration and ideas! Highly recommended!
