ABSTRACT
Few generalizations can be made about the job of the songwriter. No two songwriters write in the same way; no two songwriters earn the same amount of money for their work; and songwriters cannot predict how much they might earn this year or the next, or can ever guarantee that, as from tomorrow, they will ever earn a single penny from their craft again. As a songwriter you can earn vast sums of money, but you can also hit the lowest lows the music business has to offer.
