This casual workshop invites songwriters of all levels to come together and discuss what makes songwriting effective—and by contrast, what makes it ineffective. There will be a focus on organization, figurative language, and authenticity, and particularly on how these ingredients can work together to create lasting impressions. Participants will collaborate with others and perhaps even with the untapped part of themselves. Come with questions and comments, and we’ll do our best to send you off with answers and suggestions.
