PHILLIPS OLAND

Song critique session first half, followed by Guest Speaker: *PAMELA
PHILLIPS OLAND* - "Writing Beyond your Own Life Experiences." See bio

Songsalive! holds workshops where songwriters gather to share their songs,
gain feedback and develop relationships within the songwriting communities
we have created around the world. The first half is solely dedicated to an
in-the-round workshop where writers present one song each - either on tape,
CD or live followed by a guest speaker/ industry discussion in the second
half and plenty of time to talk and network.

NEW RULES FOR SONG CRITIQUES AT OUR WORKSHOPS

1. Must be on time - 15 minutes after the start time is too late to be
considered for a song critique.

2. Current financial members get priority. Non-members can present once
all members who want to present have been accounted for.

3. First timers can sit and watch, but not present a song.

4. Non-members pay only $5 to come; free to members (keep your
membership current by logging into your profile at www.songsalive.org)

5. We are no longer doing first come first serve, but rather pulling
numbers out of a hat. This will keep it fair. However, you need to arrive
early/on time to even be considered to present a song.

6. Read the workshop rules at www.songsalive.org/workshops and download
a PDF flyer on how to give and receive critique.

7. Come prepared! 1 song either on tape, CD or live (bring own guitar or
keyboard for an unplugged performance) and up to 20 copies of your typed
lyric sheet with contact details clearly displayed.

8. Come with writing paper and a pen.
