SONGWRITERS:
Include Your Thoughts In Our Upcoming Book!
Another Stony Meadow Publishing's release (scheduled for the third
quarter of 2010) will be The Songwriter's Companion: 1001 Song Ideas
(A Collection of Ideas and Inspiration for Songwriters.).
We have decided to include song ideas from actual songwriters for this
book.
Here's what we need: We
need you to send us an idea about something to write a song about.
(Following is a couple of samples from the book so you'll know what we're
after. Your entry should follow the format in these examples.)
WRITE A SONG ABOUT... A Walk In The Park
"Writing a song or poem about this subject should be as easy as... well, a
walk in the park. Right? But why settle for plain old vanilla? Maybe it's
3 a.m. And just why are you in the park at that hour of the morning? Or
maybe you don't even remember how you got here. And the shadows are
certainly sinister, aren't they?"
WRITE A SONG ABOUT... Watching A Centipede
"You're watching a centipede crawl along the top of a fence rail. Where is
it going? In fact, what the heck do centipedes do all day long? Do they
spend their life crawling along fences simply for our amusement? And how
the heck do they manage to keep all of those feet moving? And do male
centipedes curl up and die when they get the bill for their wive's shoes?"
WRITE A SONG ABOUT... A Turkey and Provolone Sandwich
"Boring? I don't think so. What if you bite into the sandwich and find a
note? Is someone admiring you? Threatening you? Or maybe the turkey was
bad and now you're sick as a dog and never want to see food again. Or what
if you started to take a bite and the sandwich actually spoke to you.
Crazy? Maybe not. That anchovy pizza I had last night is still talking to
me!"
It's that simple!
Keep your submissions between 60-75 words (more or less) not including the
"Write A Song About... line. We reserve the right to edit submissions
exceeding the stated maximum length. Also let us know if you want us to
include your name in the book (or include it as an anonymous listing). Use
first and last name, first name only, first initial and last name or
whatever is your preference and your city and town. You can also include a
website address.
The book is being written as we “speak” and should be available during the
third quarter of 2010, so don't delay. Send your submissions as soon as
possible. (Send your comments by e-mail to
StonyMeadowPublishing@gmail.com.)
DEADLINE: June 1st, 2010
PRIZES: Top three submissions will receive $25 each and a signed
copies of the book. |
