By Louise Singleton
Many songwriters and lyricists are
surprised to learn that there are people
out there who earn their living by writing
songs from 9 to 5.  It may not be like the
famed Brill-building
songwriting houses
of the 1960’s where
songwriters like Neil
Diamond got their start,   but there are  
music publishers,  management com-
panies and
music producers that
represent artists and bands and need to
supply them with a steady flow of fresh,  
new,  original songs.  There are also ad
agencies and media companies who
employ
songwriters and lyricists to write
songs
and create jingles for their
promotional campaigns.

There have been many groups such as 'n
sync, The Spice Girls and the Pussycat
Dolls that were created for their marketing
potential, and not for their songwriting
talent. Ever since the video era began,  
the "image" of  
Recording Artists has
become more important than who
actually wrote the songs they sing, and
this has created a role for
songwriters
who can write material for other artists
and vocalists.

For this reason, artist management
companies, production companies
and music publishers will all at times
employ
songwriters, lyricists and
co-writers to write and create new,
original songs with hit potential for
their
Recording Artists.

Getting a full-time job as a
songwriter
or lyricist may not be suited to every
song writer
out there.  After all, in order
to be able to do this, a
songwriter
must be comfortable with their role in
the background, and a
songwriter who
wants the "star treatment" may not fare
that well in these circumstances. Also,
songwriters who want to write and
record their own songs may not want
other artists succeeding with  their
songs.  However, this can provide a
unique opportunity for
songwriters to
utilize their talent, get their “foot in the
door”, and achieve some early
success with some of their songs.

Before you go to the
Current Job
Postings for Songwriters, it's a good
idea to first create your
Songwriting
Resume
.  Just like any job, you have to
tell prospective employers a bit about
yourself, and what qualifies you to
write songs for their company.   Be
sure to include all of your songwriting
accomplishments, such as any
