Collaborative Songwriting: In the Room focuses on the collaborative, creative act of group songwriting. It provides insights, perspectives and practical tools which will be invaluable for those just starting out in collaborative creativity as well as more experienced collaborators.

Songwriting and music production in the 21st century are increasingly social activities. As a result, the contemporary songwriter and collaborative music producer need to be comfortable and skilled at creating with others. With this in mind, this book works to demystify the practice of collaborative creativity and demonstrates how readers can apply this theoretical underpinning to their creative practice. The inclusion of over 15 interviews with industry professionals from the United Kingdom, the United States and Europe allows readers to benefit from the vast and varied experiences of collaboration.

Collaborative Songwriting: In the Room will provide valuable insight to professional or developing songwriters, music producers, music educators, community artists, arts practitioners and performing musicians wanting to gain new perspectives into creative collaboration. It will also be a valuable companion to students of songwriting and popular music.
