As a songwriter pitching my own songs I have read some books on the subject. This book made me set my hopes low as the Author mainly have been working out of Nashville for the most of his songwriting career; wich spans decades. What a pleasant surprise. This book is written so straightforward and it applies in a very global way, broadening the Nashville horizon to any corner of the world. This book is a must read either your are trying to pitch your songs from a project studio in Africa or on the north pole. It's simply brilliant, allthough some part of it has slipped past the updates, it doesnt make it less interesting. Not at all. This book boosts my wish to produce and pitch more often and it really gives a feeling of self esteem in the process. Put shortly; a must-have. You would regret not having this one on the shelf. Nuf said.
An invaluable guide and tutorial for song promoters.

Koller is a working Nashville songwriter who also sits on the board of the Nashville Songwriter's Association International (NSAI), which does a terrific job of mentoring capable young songwriters and giving them an entry point into the Nashville writers' community. The title pretty well describes the book, and Koller is an author equal to his task. On another point, as Writer's Digest pulls back from its ten years of leadership in the field of music business books (mid-80's to mid- 90's), I'm glad to see former Writer's Digest authors such as Koller and Paul Zollo finding good second homes. In the case of Fred Koller, our thanks go to Allworth Press in New York, a division of Billboard Books. Ron Simpson, School of Music, Brigham Young University. Author of MASTERING THE MUSIC BUSINESS.
