My name appeared in print in Berklee professor Pat Pattison’s creative writing textbook, Songwriting Without Boundaries published by Writer’s Digest Press. After publication, I was invited back to write examples of sensory description to instruct and inspire students of Pattison’s Berklee Online course.

I’ve been listed as one of CDBaby’s Top 100 Music Resources to Follow on Twitter. Note that my site’s name has since been rebranded from song written to The Lyric Writer’s Workroom.

I appeared on HuffPost Live to ask songcraft questions of the legendary Diane Warren, songwriter of “Unbreak my Heart,” “Because You Loved Me,” “I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing,” and hundreds of other popular songs. Unfortunately the interview has since been trimmed down to shave off all the songwriting questions, including my segment. All that’s left is Diane Warren describing what it’s like to party with Snoop Dogg. Only some very badly-filtered Instagram screenshots remain of my segment (see bottom of page).

I was interviewed by Lukas Kyska of The Aspiring Guitarist Podcast to talk about deliberate practice of guitar and songwriting skills.

I was cited in Muscle Shoals Sound Studio: How the Swampers Changed American Music, a book by Carla Jean Whitley for The History Press.
