Every song has a shape. Songwriting Journal: A Songwriter’s Guide to Writing in Archetypes teaches you five of them: the story, the question, the anthem, the introduction and the letter. It gives you a clear way into any idea, so you’re never stuck staring at a blank page. Each section walks you from a song map and brainstorming worksheet to guided prompts, with a lyric draft page facing every prompt so the idea becomes a song while it’s still fresh. Written by songwriter and performer Emily McVicker, it’s built for beginners and working writers alike. Scribble in it, cross things out, and make it yours.
What’s inside:
5 song archetypes, each with a song map and worksheet
35 writing prompts, each paired with a lyric draft page
The Songcraft Toolkit: pop progressions, borrowed chords, motif hooks, melody tricks, drum hooks and a final songwriting checklist
Idea Catcher pages and extra notes pages
6 × 9 in, 115 pages
When you know the binding and price, you could add a line like “Coil-bound to lie flat while you write.” If you’d like a shorter version for social media or an Etsy listing, I can write that too.
