The publishers meet monthly with “The Edge” writers in an online video room to coach and mentor in a group staff writer setting. They give feedback on the monthly submission from each writer in the SongTown forum. Although the group is primarily designed to get your writing to the next level, they will pitch any song they feel is pitch-worthy! If you’ve been feeling like you are “on the edge,” apply now to be in The EdgeGroup and let the SongTown “edge” help you succeed with your music!
When spots open up in the elite SongTown Staff Writer Club, we’ll choose members from this Edge Group!
