"I’ve been a songwriter, session musician and composer for over 40 years - tasting my first songwriting chart success at age 19 - and I’ve been writing rock, funk, jazz, swing, and soul songs ever since. An APRA member since 1976, with over 300 registered works, I’ve written and produced music for 15 albums, 9 feature films, and 13 television series; had my music broadcast in over 80 countries worldwide, and for a time, was one of Australia’s highest royalty-earning composers. A member of the Australian Guild of Screen Composers since 1988, I also spent 8 years on the AGSC executive and 5 Years as President. For the past 6 years I’ve been ‘passing it forward’; lecturing BMus students in songwriting and performance - currently at Macquarie University." - Author Clive Harrison
This book is not a quest for a magic formula for writing a hit song, for that would be nonsensical – it’s the result of PhD research into Songwriting Creativity conducted through the University of Newcastle, filtered through knowledge built up over a long and successful career, and written in the hope that songwriting students and educators can apply it to their song development.

These courses were created by the team at I Heart Songwriting Club for people who wanted to write songs, but didn't know where to begin. The program is aimed at absolute beginners and will give them the tools, support and confidence to write their first 10 songs - complete with bite-sized video lessons, real time mentorship and community.
“I just wrote 10 songs in 10 weeks - my first songs ever!! It’s life changing. A few times I had tears of wonder and joy when I listened back to my song. I am now, at 50, a song writer. No one showed me how as a child. They have now. I have a goal to write 50 songs in 50 weeks.” - Adrienne (Brisbane)
“All of the lessons and changing themes allowed me to learn the skill of songwriting quickly and write what I felt at that time. My favourite part was receiving the encouraging constructive feedback from my mentor. I tried to take that feedback and use it in my next song. I even wrote a song for my dad during the week of Fathers Day which he loved. It was an amazing experience, I enjoyed all of it so much! I can’t wait to do it again!” - Emma L. 12 year old songwriter (Ipswich)
