From Robert Lee Brewer, in the Writer's Market newsletter: "I will be editing the 2011 Songwriter's Market, which means I have another hat to put on my head. It also means I need to assign some articles for the book. This is where you come in. Please forward this newsletter to anyone who may be interested in pitching an article for the 2011 Songwriter's Market. Also, please tweet or post on online forums, Facebook, etc. You have my permission. Here's what I need: Articles on the business of songwriting and/or interviews with those in the business. If you're unsure, please use a previous edition of Songwriter's Market as a guide. Please send pitches (without attachments) to me at robert(dot)brewer(at)fwmedia(dot)com with the subject line: 2011 Songwriter's Market Pitch. Deadline for pitches: May 31. Good luck!"
