Hot off the press
I’ve been working hard on a new book, following my first book, Song Maps.
My new book is -
The Organized Songwriter – How to Create Space to Write Your Best Songs
It’s been through my brilliant editor and last few i’s are being dotted and t’s are being crossed but it’s looking very nice right now. The planned date is mid-November but I’ll let you know if that changes. In the meantime here’s a look at what’s come back from our designer. Must admit I like the look so far!
Let me know what you think at simon@simonhawkins.com!

Song Maps Highlights #4 — Plot Ideas v Story Facts
“With this extra context, we can introduce many more colors, emotions and interest. Much of what we are doing with Song Maps is therefore arranging plot ideas rather than simply ordering story facts.”
