Quote to Inspire: "Writing is the research project of my own heart." --
Lucy Dacus, Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter.
- Welcome November, Songwriters!🍂
November already? It often seems that while the weeks feel long, the year flies by. I invite you to take a few breaths each day to "research" your heart for creative inspiration as this month's inspirational quote suggests. If you need encouragement or a little guidance, consider treating yourself to a private session with one of our mentors or pitch guests. Our mentors, music publishers, and coaches are here to provide live song feedback courses, professional song evaluations, and pitching opportunities. Visit the Activity Area to register and participate. Keep up the great work. We believe in U!

You can! We've got two exclusive Behind-the-Scenes (BTS) live listening sessions this month:Pitch #2540 The Band Perry on November 18th and Pitch #2538 Reba McEntire on November 19th. You'll find details when you pitch your songs to each listing. Don't wait too long — seats are limited!
Special Event Pitch! Are you a Top Composer at SongU?🎵

General Registration Reminders:📅
Our mentors and pitch guests are available for Private Sessions by appointment only. You may have two active live songwriting feedback courses (FDBK) at once, but you can add a third if there is still an open spot 24 hours before the class starts.
