The Art of Songwriting The Art of Songwriting by Ed is the best book about creativity that I have ever read. Balancing theory, thinking and feeling in equal measure, really helps you to find your own way to approach songwriting, and to identify as a songwriter.

Super helpful! Super helpful feedback with a lot of great ideas and things to consider. Very honest and constructive and with a good ear for certain things I didn't hear before in my own songs. Thanks!

The Song Foundry ROCKS!!! The Song Foundry (Ed Bell's internet site for all things songwriting) is a great place to find free articles on songwriting, purchase video & eBook courses on songwriting, or grab some time for personalized coaching. I think Ed Bell ROCKS! I love is his frank and honest approach to helping others learn the craft of songwriting. If you want to get better at songwriting - just head on over to thesongfoundry.com!

Excellent songwriting advice! I have engaged a lot with Ed Bell of The Song Foundry over the past few years. I have always found his advice to be professional, informed and very helpful indeed. His book The Art of Songwriting was insightful and motivational. Also, I used his song critique service twice for feedback on early versions of my songs. Once again, the advice on improving these compositions was very useful. I highly recommend The Song Foundry and Ed Bell for the courses, books and other services.

I've been working with Ed for a year… I've been working with Ed for a year and half. Meeting with him has made me progress so much farther and faster in my songwriting. I highly reccommed his one on one sessions if you are looking to up your skills. Ed will look at a song and be able to bring it to its full potential and so genius at it. I leave every meeting feeling so encouraged to move forward and work even harder. I would still be lost on this songwriting journey without his courses book and these one on one sessions. Ed is the best!!!
