THE SONGWRITERS WORKSHOP
​
The Songwriters Workshop (SW) is a community of songwriters throughout southwestern Ohio and neighboring regions who study and work together to improve their songwriting craft to their highest potential. We believe that songwriters can communicate emotions through messages that speak for each and every one of us. Songwriting success is not measured by how many people hear our songs or how much money we make, but by what the songs become to the people we touch.
