"You Were The Only Published Writer

Who Would Give Me a Shot..."

Here's what 2022 ACM Female Artist of the Year, Lainey Wilson has to say about publishing deals and working with Forest..

Join The Challenge!

Who is this challenge for?

If your mission is to become a Breakthrough Songwriter, then you're in the right place...

Over these 5 days, you'll learn how to exponentially increase your value as a writer and command the attention of a publisher...

And if you're willing to become a student in the school of making hit records then I promise you'll get a ton of value and clarity out of these 5 days together.

Who is this challenge NOT for?

This challenge isn't for everyone...

If you don't 'want it' more than 90% of the other writers out there...

If you don't care about adding value and building others up...

If you just wanna 'dabble' and dip your toe in the music business...

I'm not sure that you'll feel 'at home' in this challenge.

But if you've always felt like you were being called to 'something bigger' with your songwriting career and you're ready to step into that calling...

Then you're gonna have a great time and fit right in with the kind of songwriters that have already signed up for this 5 day challenge :-)

How is this challenge delivered?

Starting Monday March 14th you will enjoy 5 days of live Zoom events with a hit songwriter and a hit publisher!

The link for these Zoom calls will be sent directly to the email address you use for signup below. All you need to do is click the link at 4pm CST. All you need to do is be ready to learn & apply our key Songwriting Success principles!

What will you learn?

How to attract a publisher and exactly what to ask for on your first publishing deal. Plus, the terms you need to be aware of so you can sign the best deal possible.

Ultimately, you will leave these 5 days with a clear idea of your unique value as a songwriter (no matter what stage of your career).

I can't make it ... when will the next one be?

We're not sure! LeAnn and myself (Forest) both have busy schedules where we are out in the music industry 'practicing what we preach'.

Our main living doesn't come from events like this but being on the frontlines working on hit songs.

Since you'll get on demand access to these recordings after the event, we suggest you sign up even if you can't attend live.

That way you can guarantee you'll actually be able to hear and apply this content, and finally be able to chart your path towards a full time songwriting career.
