Songcrafters Coloring Book Cover


Do you write for yourself  and have no public, or do you write for the public and have no self?   There is a third choice -- you can have BOTH.   Songcrafters' Coloring Book shows you how to write in your own way, and make it affect an audience the way you want it to.
