Co-Writing BootCamP
Series

Struggling to find co-writers?

Let us set you up with a coach and co-writers!

When you're trying to break into co-writing, it’s tough to get commitments and navigate the co-writing scene. Discover Sooner's Co-writing Bootcamp Series brings the Nashville co-writing experience directly to you!

​

Co-writing allows you to leverage the complementary strengths of others, spark inspiration, receive instant feedback, and ultimately create better songs faster. Most prospective publishers want to know you're "good to be in the room with"—able to thrive in any writing situation and consistently produce great songs. The key to achieving this level of proficiency is through co-writing.

 

The biggest challenge for new songwriters is finding co-writers. And even when you do, the songwriting process can easily stall due to inexperience at co-writing.

 

The Co-writing Bootcamp Series is designed to solve this problem. This online program is tailored for songwriters with limited (or no) co-writing experience. 

​

We’ll place you in a small group of songwriters and pair you with an experienced songwriter to guide the co-writing process.

​

When you register you'll receive an email with the free video tutorial "Getting Started Co-Writing" (a $27 value) as well as guidance to help you walk into the co-write prepared.

 

Explore our veteran songwriters below and let us know who you'd like to collaborate with. Based on availability, you'll have the opportunity to write with your preferred coach. Sign up with a friend and we'll ensure you're in the same writing room with the coach of your choice (availability permitting).
